Skoltech Scientists Use Machine Learning to Help Doctors Find Veins for No-Fuss Blood Draws

Researchers from Skoltech have developed an early prototype of a medical imaging system that uses neural networks to analyze near-infrared images of veins and project a venous pattern onto a patient’s body – this may make blood draws much easier and less of a nuisance for patients with difficult access to veins.

X-Rays Could be Used to Diagnose COVID-19 with the Help of Artificial Intelligence

X-rays, first used clinically in the late 1890s, could be a leading-edge diagnostic tool for COVID-19 patients with the help of artificial intelligence, according to a team of researchers in Brazil who taught a computer program, through various machine learning methods, to detect COVID-19 in chest X-rays with 95.6 to 98.5% accuracy.
