Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering

Medical Image Computing

We develop AI tools for automatically analyzing medical imaging data, such as magnetic resonance (MR) or computed tomography (CT) scans. Our aim is to augment the capabilities of trained human experts, such as neuroscientists or clinicians, by analyzing images faster, more consistently, and in more detail.
