Projects' news & stories
High Performance Computing and deep learning in medicine: Enhancing 
physicians, helping patients
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) from medical images has been used to help 
radiologists for many years. But with the use of High Performance 
Computing and deep learning algorithms for automatic recognition of 
complicated patterns in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed 
tomography (CT), or whole-slide histopathology images (WSI), the 
capabilities of CAD systems have the potential to be significantly 
improved.
