Research across disciplinary boundaries: the Institute for Applied Mathematics at the University of Bonn and the Clinic for Neuroradiology at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) have received funding of around 160,000 euros for a joint project on the automated detection of brain hemorrhages using artificial intelligence. The funding is provided by the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bonn. Cerebral hemorrhages are among the clinical emergencies in which rapid intervention is essential for the further course of the disease. In this context, radiology plays a central role, because only the reliable diagnosis of brain hemorrhage by means of CT (computed tomography) enables the correct classification of the hemorrhage and the initiation of further therapeutic steps. In order to be able to automatically detect brain hemorrhages in the future using artificial intelligence, mathematicians and physicians are working closely together in their project.
