AutoMatic Brain MRI SegmentaTion using artificial IntelligenCe to Augment assessment and surgery of maLignant tumors: The MISTICAL project

In the Netherlands per year +/- 4500 patients undergo an operation for a malignant brain tumor. MISTICAL aims at creating fully automatic 3D brain MRI segmentation algorithms for these tumors using artificial intelligence. With the resulting segmentations, patients will understand their disease better. Thereby neurosurgeons can gain insight and prepare for surgery in 3D. Finally, during surgery, surgeons can be guided with holograms based on these segmentations. MISTICAL involves direct integration of the segmentation algorithms and holography in a cloud pipeline, linked to the hospital environment.
