Artificial intelligence to detect multiple sclerosis
Artificial intelligence isn't just for generating images of cute cats or creating deepfakes. In expert hands, this technology can be of great help in the field of health, for example in the early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Generated with AI It is generally at the time of the first symptoms, after an MRI, that patients suffering from multiple sclerosis or a neurogenerative disease know what to expect. This is a problem for monitoring the disease, because it is not known when or how brain structures were affected by the condition. A bicameral parliamentary system to analyze MRIs To identify the areas of the brain which are the first affected by a neurogenerative disease, the study of images of the brain is essential, but " a fine segmentation of the brain on MRI images requires two weeks of work from a person specially trained for ", explains Pierrick Coupé, research director at the CNRS. This is where artificial intelligence comes in...
