The National Science Foundation awarded Rowan University a $100,000 Project Grant under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to develop an automatic aortic aneurysm screening software platform using deep learning models. The platform aims to improve the speed and efficiency of computed tomography scan readings, 3D image reconstruction, and aortic aneurysm screening, which are currently done manually. The software will use adaptive image processing and ensemble-based object detection models trained on deep learning to automatically measure aortic aneurysm diameters. It may also generate 3D visualizations to help doctors with more comprehensive diagnoses. Based on measurements and patient health data, the platform is designed to calculate estimated risks of adverse aortic events and provide risk rankings to help prioritize patient treatment and surgical procedures. The award period is from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022.
