Technological innovation centre dedicated to imaging and artificial intelligence applied to cerebrovascular diseases.
Challenges and objectives
Artificial intelligence is driving major advances in biomedical science and opening up new therapeutic prospects.
The aim of the VBHI – Imaging & AI Centre is to consolidate world-class expertise for the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools and approaches in Bordeaux. The first initiatives will focus on “covert”, or hidden, diseases of the small vessels in the brain with a particular focus on innovative imaging biomarkers (brain and retina).
Priority areas:
- To enable early detection and characterisation of cerebral lesions associated with covert forms of small vessel diseases using an unsupervised machine learning algorithm.
- To democratise biomarkers based on AI transfer learning (3T to 0.55T), reducing costs and making early prevention accessible to as many people as possible.
In France, it is estimated that a 50% reduction in the avoidable risks associated with the impact of cerebrovascular disease could lead to savings of €4.2 billion a year.
