Novel AI technique able to distinguish between progressive brain tumours and radiation necrosis, York U study finds
While targeted radiation can be an effective treatment for brain tumours, subsequent potential necrosis of the treated areas can be hard to distinguish from the tumours on a standard MRI. A new study led by a York University professor in the Lassonde School of Engineering found that a novel AI-based method is better able to distinguish between the two types of lesions on advanced MRI than the human eye alone, a discovery that could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.
York U and Georgina expand their collaboration
York University and the Town of Georgina signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today to formalize their long-standing collaboration in key areas of mutual interest.
New research finds specific learning strategies can enhance AI model effectiveness in hospitals
If data used to train artificial intelligence models for medical applications, such as hospitals across the Greater Toronto Area, differs from the real-the world data, it could lead to patient harm. A new study
Experimenting with generative AI to kibbitz and futz towards more inclusive futures
What does it mean to think, act and work as a Jewish professor when human freedoms are under siege and authoritarian power gains ground? And how can we draw on our Jewish identities to navigate the sweeping encroachment of new technologies like AI? As communication scholars, colleagues and collaborators, we have spent a lot of […]
Canada is lagging in innovation, and that’s a problem for funding the programs we care about
As Canadians prepare to vote in another federal election, the country’s economy faces a sobering reality. As the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) notes, productivity is stagnating, our innovation performance lags global peers and high-potential startups often fail to scale.
AI could help solve questions about health of sleeping on back after 28-weeks pregnancy
The importance of sleep for improving brain function, mood, cardiovascular health, metabolic health and staving off dementia has emerged as a hot topic, but for pregnant women, sleep position may also prove critical for giving birth to a healthy child. Although there is a known association between back sleeping after 28 weeks of pregnancy and […]
