Anticipating heart failure with machine learning – MIT News
A new algorithm developed at MIT CSAIL aims to distinguish between different pulmonary edema severity levels automatically by looking at a single X-ray image.
Every year, roughly one out of eight U.S. deaths is caused at least in part by heart failure. One of acute heart failures most common warning signs is excess fluid in the lungs, a condition known as pulmonary edema.
