Advancing AI in Medical Imaging: Forschungszentrum Jülich Joins the InterACT Project
1st August 2024
Forschungszentrum Jülich is proud to contribute to the InterACT project (Integrated Analysis and Collaboration Tool), an initiative dedicated to revolutionising digital medicine through artificial intelligence (AI) and open-source imaging tools. This ambitious project aims to create a flexible AI-driven platform for analysing radiology and neuroradiology data, ultimately improving healthcare efficiency and precision.
Building on the foundations of the REACT-EU-funded 'Digital Photon Counting CT Innovation Platform NRW', InterACT will enhance medical imaging by integrating AI with innovative analysis techniques. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between partners, the project seeks to overcome the limitations of isolated software solutions and establish new standards in digital healthcare.
As part of the project, Forschungszentrum Jülich’s Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-4) is providing high-resolution MRI datasets from both 3T and 7T scanners to train, validate, and fine-tune the AI platform. A rigorous validation process will help refine AI performance and maintain high accuracy standards.
Additionaly, INM-4 is also supplying high-resolution 7T sodium MRI data. This will enable the AI to identify critical patterns and biomarkers, paving the way for more precise imaging techniques in neurological and metabolic disorders, resulting in smarter, more efficient medical diagnostics.
