Скачать или смотреть Pushing the Boundaries: Machine-Assisted Advances in MRI Imaging and Simulation

Prof. Dr. Mauricio Reyes, who is currently leading the data science team at the Insel Data Science Center of the University Hospital Inselspital in Bern, talks about innovative AI-empowered ways of leveraging MRI imaging. A joint effort between the University of Bern and Malong Technologies (a Chinese artificial intelligence company developing state-of-the-art computer vision) has lead to significant improvements in the analysis of brain images. Prof. Dr. Reyes explains how this new AI technology can assist in analyzing strokes and brain tumors.

Moving on from potentially life-saving pattern recognition, Prof. Dr. Tianwu Xie talks about new ways of simulating the impact of radiation on the human body. Prof. Dr. Xie is a researcher at the Institute of Radiation Medicine at Fudan University and conducts his research in collaboration with the Geneva University Hospital. Traditionally, the impacts of radiation have been studied by using nonhuman primates who (sharing much of their evolutionary history with modern humans) resemble us in their organ structure, genome, life span and metabolism. Prof. Dr. Xie proposes an alternative for animal testing, which has been practiced for millennia starting with experiments by Aristotle and Erasistratus (who is considered by many to be the founding father of neuroscience). Prof. Dr. Xie presents computational models which imitate the inner-workings of nonhuman primates and aim to yield more accurate results.
