The project
Machine learning techniques are quickly becoming indispensable in medical and scientific imaging because of their often unmatched speed and accuracy, and because of the increasing amount of data that need to be analyzed and interpreted. Despite the recent improvements, however, these techniques still pose a considerable technical challenge and a steep learning curve to non-expert users.
