Medical Imaging
Use Artificial Intelligence to improve the processing and interpretation of medical imaging.
We help our clients to develop artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools for the analysis and interpretation of biomedical data.
As the volume and accessibility of health data increase, artificial intelligence and machine learning are going to play an important role in diagnosis. It makes it possible to offer the highest quality possible care not just to the few but to everyone. Using AI in medicine and medical imaging, it will make the healthcare system better, faster, cheaper, and accessible to everyone.
Why use AI in medical imaging
- Early DetectionEnabling early detection, prediction and diagnosis of diseases01
- FastSince it is done with a machine, the scans can be processed immediately. No need to wait for a specialist to review the scans.02
- Lower CostUse machines that are faster and do not need to take breaks.03
- PersonalizedMaking it possible to create personalized interventions and therapies.04
- Safe, Robust, and InterpretableOur models ensure safe, robust and interpretable models from the beginning.05
- Privacy-PreservingWe can design our algorithm to work with anonymized data such that privacy is ensured.06
- Proper uncertainty estimationBeing built on Bayesian Inference ensures our models get proper uncertainty estimation right out of the box.07

Why us?
Whenever one is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) in high-stakes situations like medical diagnosis, one always worries about the false negatives i.e. when one tells a sick patient that they are healthy and the less critical case of a false positive, i.e. when one tell a healthy patient they are sick.
To make sure that does not happen one wants as accurate predictions as possible but one also needs accurately estimate the uncertainty in the predictions, such that there is a way for the model to communicate the need for further scans and/or involve a medical professional.
Since we focus on Bayesian Deep Learning, we have the perfect tool to address this problem, our models get automatically provide accurate uncertainty estimates with every prediction. It also ensures robust models from the get-go.

What can we do?
Depending on the type of medical imaging various techniques can be used, here is an example of some of the things we can help you with.
Image Classification
Classify the entire image into a specific set of classes. The main drawback is it gives one class for the whole image.

Object Detection
Detects objects within an image and draws a box around them. The benefit here is that multiple objects can be detected in the same image.

Semantic Segmentation
Predicts classes on a pixel level, ex. background, lung, liver, and heart. The upside is that it provides a clear boundary between two objects of different classes. The downside is that semantic segmentation does not separate objects of the same category that overlap.

Instance Segmentation
Detects instances of objects and their boundaries. It is similar to semantic segmentation in that one gets contours at a pixel level, but solves the issue of what is a distinct object.
