AI can spot 'invisible' brain abnormalities in patients
Scientists in London are using AI to detect previously 'invisible' brain abnormalities — too subtle for standard detection methods — that cause epilepsy.
The tool, called MELD Graph, spots around two thirds of the tiny abnormalities that human radiologists often miss when studying a patient's MRI scan.
The team have spent 10 years developing MELD Graph which was trained on MRI data from more than 700 people with focal cortical dysplasia (FCDs), a major cause of epilepsy. FCDs can be subtle and difficult to see with the human eye and up to half of these lesions are missed by radiologists.
The system highlights what it thinks might be an abnormality and also explains why. The analysis can then be checked by a radiologist, speeding up a diagnosis and access to surgery.
