NASA-Developed Image Segmentation Algorithm Helps Interpret Medical Imagery

The MED-SEG™ system, developed by Bartron Medical Imaging LLC, a New Haven, CT-based company, was recently approved by the FDA for use by trained professionals to process images. The system is based on an innovative software program originally developed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD to analyze imagery of Earth. Now, that technology is being applied to aid in the interpretation of mammograms, ultrasounds, and other medical imagery.
