Neural Network Compares Brain MRIs in a Flash NVIDIA Blog

Binge-watching three seasons of "The Office" can make you feel as if your brain has turned into mush. But in actuality, the brain is always pretty mushy and malleable -- making neurosurgery even more difficult than it sounds. To gauge their success, brain surgeons compare MRI scans taken before and after the procedure to determine whether a tumor has been fully removed. This process takes time, so if an MRI is being taken mid-operation, the doctor must compare scans by eye. But the brain shifts around during surgery, making that task difficult to accomplish, but no less critical.
