First 500 patients help pioneering research into brain tumours
Research which could enable doctors to identify serious brain tumours, cysts and haemorrhages on MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans quicker has welcomed its 500th patient at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH).
The MIDI research study, which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms applied to MRI scans and reports to provide faster diagnosis of serious abnormalities, started at NUH in April 2021.
Now, the first 500 patients have taken part in the research at both the Queen’s Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital.
Professor Rob Dineen, Consultant Neuroradiologist at NUH and Co-Principal Investigator for MIDI in Nottingham, said:
“Patients at NUH and our MRI research team have both made a substantial contribution so far to the MIDI study, which employs Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learningbased (DL) algorithms.”
