- Faster Image Analysis – MIT researchers developed machine learning algorithm, called VoxelMorph, that can compare brain scans and other 3D images more than 1,000 times faster than traditional systems
- Speed Comparison – Successfully compared 250 test brain scans in two seconds using central processing unit (CPU), and one second using graphics processing unit (GPU), compared to two hours with current algorithms
- AI Training – Algorithm learned from 7,000 publicly available brain scans, enabling it to align images and estimate optimal alignment parameters
- Standard-Level Accuracy – VoxelMorph found to be as accurate as commonly used algorithms
- Other Applications – Can be used to analyze lung images, as well as comparing images before and after surgical operations
