• Cardiac MRI Now Processed in Minutes With ITMO AI Algorithm

  Researchers from ITMO and Almazov National Medical Research Centre used deep learning to develop a way to quickly detect cardiac fibrosis – with an algorithm that divides a cardiac image into 17 segments and then evaluates the location and amount of fibrosis tissue in each of them. With the new algorithm, clinicians won’t have to do the complicated MRI analysis, which would significantly facilitate the selection of treatment for heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases. The results of the study, supported by the Russian Science Foundation, were published in Biomedical Signal Processing and Control.

• ITMO Researchers Unveil New Methods to Control Light for Making Hypersensitive Devices

  Physicists from ITMO and Harbin Engineering University have experimentally proven unique light scattering features in open optical systems with Mie resonators. Thanks to the discovered effects, it’s possible to control light absorption and gain coefficients, enabling high sensitivity of optical systems to external factors. These results pave the way to hypersensitive sensors and optical devices for information processing and transfer. The study was described in a paper published in Science Advances.

• ITMO Researchers Develop Algorithm for Rapid DNA Analysis

  Scientists from ITMO University have unveiled Strainy, an algorithm that identifies DNA bacteria within microbiomes and discerns between heterogenous strains with a high degree of accuracy. With the help of this software, researchers should be able to quickly determine the pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance of specific bacterial communities, as well as learn more about their evolutionary paths. The corresponding paper has been published in Nature Methods.
