No matter how you slice it, this AI tech is changing MR neuro imaging

#artificialintelligence

Imagine your body is like a loaf of sliced bread. During an MRI scan, a powerful magnet and radio waves create detailed images of each "slice" of your body, then a computer puts the slices together to show a full picture of your anatomy. But before the slicing comes the choosing. Before an MRI technologist can scan a patient, they have to manually specify the slices they want the MRI to acquire. This process can take several minutes of tweaking and adjusting, leaving a patient waiting anxiously in the MRI scanner and adding unnecessary steps to set up each scan.
