We present here the development of a cloud-based solution for storing and processing medical data obtained using TMR-KFTI MRI systems developed at the Kazan Physical-Technical Institute, FRC Kazan Scientific Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, and devices from other manufacturers. The concept of cloud technologies is considered, and their advantages over conventional data storage methods are identified. Types of cloud storage are investigated, and examples from world practice are presented; the grounds for a specific solution are established. The potentials for the development of cloud technologies in medicine are addressed.
