Eyes of Watson

I have been really busy. For the last months, I was drawn into a great project at work that will potentially change the world. It will change the way computers "see". It will change the way we will get medical treatment.

Last week we made history by achieving our first big milestone - presenting Eyes of Watson at the RSNA conference.

In short, this system is a long term project to build the next generation cognitive assistant with advanced analytics and reasoning capabilities for clinical diagnostics.

Below we can see some snippets with explanations:

A case contains a clinical description of a patient, the patient's mammogram images, and a textual question for the system to answer.

The clinical description is analyzed.

The images are analyzed.

The inference on the analyses, based on reasoning algorithms.

The system's findings to answer the question.
