But general-purpose image-segmentation algorithms aren reliable enough to produce the very precise models that surgical planning requires.
Human factors Typically, the way to make an image-segmentation algorithm more precise is to augment it with a generic model of the object to be segmented.
That anatomical consistency could give a segmentation algorithm a way to weed out improbable conclusions about object boundaries.
and allow algorithms to take over from there. Their strongest results came when they asked the expert to segment only a small patch ne-ninth of the total area of each cross section.
and letting the algorithm infer the rest yielded 90 percent agreement with expert segmentation of the entire collection of 200 cross sections.
Prognosis Currently, the algorithm examines patches of unsegmented cross sections and looks for similar features in the nearest segmented cross sections.
This and other variations on the algorithm are the subject of ongoing research. The clinical study in the fall will involve MRIS from 10 patients who have received already treatment at Boston Children Hospital.

Sunport simply adds a small additional cost that provides the solar upgrade which also pays to help support new solar farms feeding even more solar into the grid.
This upgrade cost is considerably less than standard grid power, since it just for the upgrade and not the electricity itself.
As an example, a month solar upgrade for your laptop from a Sunport will cost no more than $2 extra,
and even less than $1 for many people. But, for backers of the current Kickstarter campaign, the Sunport comes with the first year solar included in the cost of the hardware.
there will be no extra cost for the solar upgrade. fter that, we expect unlimited solar will cost no more than a few of dollars a month,
That way, each Sunjoule micro credit upgrades a little bit of power today, helps add a little more new solar production to the grid
