A fast and flexible approach to help doctors annotate medical scans

“ScribblePrompt” is an interactive AI framework that can efficiently highlight anatomical structures across different medical scans, assisting medical workers to delineate regions of interest and abnormalities.

Colorful spikes depict neural activity at progressively higher stimulation currents. On the left, the colors are dim. On the right, they are brighter and warmer, indicating a seizure.

Study assesses seizure risk from stimulating the thalamus

In animal models, even low stimulation currents can sometimes still cause electrographic seizures, researchers found.
