# Open Source Imaging Initiative eV (non-profit)


The Open Source Imaging Initiative (OSI²) e.V. is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting open-source medical imaging technology. Medical imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating various diseases, as well as advancing our understanding of their underlying causes. Our objective is to extend the health benefits of modern imaging devices to people worldwide.

We are a community of mainly scientists and engineers. Currently, only a small fraction of the community is part of the (German) non-profit association.

Main envisioned application cases for HackMD will be:

- writing and commenting proposals for grant applications
- collaborative development of early-stage documents before pushing them to gitlab
- within the association as well as with community members and externals
