yatiris++: AI for clinical applications

Artificial intelligence is a cutting edge area in computer science that has recently been incorporated to medical imaging problems. However, most of the technological solutions associated to this field are usually developed in developed countries and subsequently bought by ours.

This project aims to develop novel AI techniques to solve medical imaging and biomedical engineering problems. To this end, we will introduce novel methods for image analysis based on machine/deep learning that will improve and/or complement current existing developments from Yatiris, the medical imaging group from PLADEMA Institute (UNICEN, Tandil, Argentina). Our purpose is to develop solution for key applications in medical personel training, clinical research, diagnostic, treatment and following of ophthalmological, vascular and neurological diseases. By the end of this project, we aim to count with sufficiently mature tools to be transfered to different medical institutions from Argentina.
