AI to improve detection and monitoring of brain aneurysm

A new research collaboration focused on developing a solution that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and monitor brain aneurysms on scans faster and more efficiently was recently announced. As reported, Australia's Macquarie University will work with an ICT company, a medical tech company, and a medical imaging company to improve brain aneurysm diagnoses. The project has already received a Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P) grant of AU$ 2.1M from the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science. Brain aneurysms are a common disorder caused by a weakness in the wall of a brain artery. Aneurysms are present in between 2% and 8% of adults, with multiple aneurysms in more than 10% of these people.
