Brenau University of Gainsville, GA, last month won a $345,000 grant to refine a colorized MRI technology for commercial use. The grant was sponsored by Tulsa, OK-based firm Image Analysis, and allows occupational therapy professor Keith Brown to continue developing the technology for commercial use.
The patented technology shades MRI images in hues similar to natural tissue colors by combining layers of the image into a color composite on a computer. Since current MR technology produces gray-scale images, and radiologists must detect subtle gradations as they make diagnoses, the university hopes its colorized MRI technique will allow users to study more quickly, accurately, and effectively the internal body structures being imaged.
Mammography Study Compares False Positives Between AI and Radiologists in DBT Screening
May 8th 2025For DBT breast cancer screening, 47 percent of radiologist-only flagged false positives involved mass presentations whereas 40 percent of AI-only flagged false positive cases involved benign calcifications, according to research presented at the recent American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) conference.
