AI can spot 'invisible' brain abnormalities in patients<br /><br />Scientists in London are using AI to detect previously 'invisible' brain abnormalities — too subtle for standard detection methods — that cause epilepsy.<br /><br />The tool, called MELD Graph, spots around two thirds of the tiny abnormalities that human radiologists often miss when studying a patient's MRI scan.<br /><br />The team have spent 10 years developing MELD Graph which was trained on MRI data from more than 700 people with focal cortical dysplasia (FCDs), a major cause of epilepsy. FCDs can be subtle and difficult to see with the human eye and up to half of these lesions are missed by radiologists.<br /><br />The system highlights what it thinks might be an abnormality and also explains why. The analysis can then be checked by a radiologist, speeding up a diagnosis and access to surgery.<br /><br />REUTERS / KING'S COLLEGE LONDON / UCL<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#artificialintelligence<br />#epilepsy
