UCLA just unveiled SLIViT, an AI model that analyzes 3D medical images faster and cheaper than human experts. Key points: 1️⃣ Analyzes MRIs, CTs, and more in a fraction of the time. 2️⃣ Detects disease markers across multiple scan types 3️⃣ Outperforms other models, making…
@CompMedUCLA postdoc Richard Border is moving to Carnegie Mellon in Spring 2025 his own lab as an assistant professor in the CMU Department of Computational Biology. @CMUCompBio @SCSatCMU borderlab.org
New research from Richard Border and Noah Zaitlen showing that non-random mating + cultural transmission can lead to spurious heritability / GWAS signal, even for traits without any genetic basis. As discovery sample size increases, we expect more off-target GWAS hits.
Researchers at UCLA have developed SLIViT, an AI system that can analyze complex medical images like MRI and 3D scans with unprecedented precision levels. But what does this mean for patients? #SLIViT #MedicalImaging #AI eu1.hubs.ly/H0d5l6n0
Researchers @halperineran and @orenavram at #UCLA have developed a new, #AI-powered foundation model that can accurately analyze #3D medical imagery, like MRIs and CT scans, in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take a human expert. ➡️ developer.nvidia.com/blog/ai-medica… The model…
