Quick look under the skin

Self-learning algorithms analyze medical imaging data. Imaging techniques enable a detailed look inside an organism. But interpreting the data is time-consuming and requires a great deal of experience. Artificial neural networks open up new possibilities, as shown in a new publication with SyNergy member Ali Ertürk. They require just seconds to interpret whole-body scans of mice and to segment and depict the organs in colors, instead of in various shades of gray. This facilitates the analysis considerably.
