"ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLIED TO THE DETECTION OF ARTERIAL CALCIUM IN EARLY PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES"
The grant objective is to provide financial support for scientific encouragement to Argentine biomedical professionals to develop basic or applied research projects in human medicine in the country.
The project will be developed in the Laboratorio de Bioingeniería of the IMETTyB and under the supervision of Dr. Liliana Favaloro.
The objective of the project is to use computed tomography images to train a convolutional neural network that automatically detects vascular calcifications. Early detection of these calcifications helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
