"Our algorithm is trained to identify areas of deviation to diagnose whether someone is autistic or neurotypical," Khudri said.
Key Points:
- "Our algorithm is trained to identify areas of deviation to diagnose whether someone is autistic or neurotypical," Khudri said.
- The AI system involves isolating brain tissue images from the DT-MRI scans and extracting imaging markers that indicate the level of connectivity between brain regions.
- "Our approach is a novel advancement that enables the early detection of autism in infants under two years of age," Khudri said.
- Khudri said their AI system could facilitate precise autism management while reducing the time and costs associated with assessment and treatment.
