Morning Read: Nvidia tech to support machine learning could create smarter medical imaging - MedCity News

An article explores how Nvidia Corp. microchips, the kind that are used in video games and by social media networks for photo tagging, are being applied to medicine. They are being used to add machine learning to medical imaging. The idea is to use the technology to spot conditions such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease earlier and faster. But one potential consequence of advancements in this area is reduced dependence on radiologists. Luminex has raised its offer for Nanosphere to obtain its molecular diagnostics technology from 83 million to more than 100 million.
