Development of an AI-powered ultrasound tool for early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of intraocular melanoma, enhancing early detection and survival rates.
Description
The project aims to develop a new low cost, noninvasive ultrasound-based tool powered with artificial intelligence to visualize and quantify microvasculature morphology for early diagnosis of eye cancers, specifically choroidal melanoma. The technology combines AI with quantitative high-definition microvessel imaging (qHDMI) to diagnose early-stage melanoma and monitor treatment response, improving early detection and patient outcomes.
