Under the ‘fastMRI’ collaboration, Facebook AI Research (FAIR) group and the medical school’s Radiology department will investigate the use of AI in expediting the reconstruction of MR images.
Commonly, patients are required to lie inside a MRI’s chamber for 15-50 minutes. The partners intend to significantly cut down this time by using AI to capture less data during the scan.
A statement from Facebook read: “Using AI, it may be possible to capture less data and therefore scan faster, while preserving or even enhancing the rich information content of magnetic resonance images.
