A NVIDIA presented an open source AI project developed in conjunction with the King's College London in September 2022 during the GTC, an event held by the company to publicize news for different markets. 633e4u
Two months later, during the conference RSNA, the company returns to talk about the MONAI and now it was possible to know that the functionality has already been ed more than 600 thousand times worldwide and the open source project still has a lot to evolve.
The company announced several innovations and partnerships that will make more and more specialists able to make good use of all available functionalities. Check out all the details right now.
What is NVIDIA MONAI? 3q346j
Launched worldwide during the month of September 2022, the MONAI can be explained as an open source AI project that aims to accelerate the treatment of diseases through pre-trained models, active learning and its own development kit so that more and more people are cured. According to official data from the company, the MONAI it has already been ed more than 600 times and this number should grow even more in the coming months.
In other words, the project allows developers to have more advanced use of AI tools so that the best can be enjoyed by professionals around the world. It's as if a large community was created so that the best treatment is offered to people.
If someone wanted to deploy multiple AI models in an imaging department to help specialists identify dozens of different conditions or partially automate the creation of diagnostic imaging reports, it would take unsustainable time and resources to get the hardware and software infrastructure right. for each of them. It was possible, but not feasible.

The main focus of MONAI is to provide visual data so that diagnoses can be made with greater assertiveness, which can be crucial for treatment to start early. her own NVIDIA points out that the AI framework is focused on being “a robust software framework that benefits nearly all levels of medical imaging, deep learning research, and deployment."
Use of MONAI in different parts of the world 4j3o3y
The big announcement made by NVIDIA in about two months after the launch of its AI framework is that the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, a major reference in the US in the treatment of various diseases, has been using it in practice since September 2022 and doctors have already noticed the gains in practice.
Doctors stressed that the MONAI it already allows decision-making for patient transplants to be made in less time due to technologies able to inform measures of total cardiac volume, generally used to list patients with heart transplants.
O MAP (acronym for MONAI Application Package or MONAI Application Bundle), defined by NVIDIA as “a standard for developing and deploying medical AI applications“, is being used for total cardiac volume segmentation from computed tomography images, helping pediatric heart transplant patients in a project funded by the US National Institutes of Health.
O England's National Health Service (National Health Service ou NHS) is also already making good use of the NVIDIA release. The service, which can be explained as a “SUS in England”, implemented its platform AI Deployment Engine (HELP) to MONAI in five hospitals and this should allow tools to be enabled to detect different diseases in about 5 million people per year.
A Qure.ai, which has been operating in the AI and medicine market since 2016 and is also part of the conglomerate NVIDIA Inception, is developing AI models for diagnosing diseases in less time. The prediction is that people with lung cancer, traumatic brain injuries and tuberculosis will know what they have in less time so that treatment begins as soon as possible.
A SimBioSys is another company that has been acting a lot in the use of MONAI. Based in Chicago, USA, the startup is creating 3D virtual representations of patient tumors and applications that can help predict how a patient might respond to a specific treatment.
Finally, the University of California em San Francisco, EUA, is using the open source diagnostic imaging platform to detect hip fractures, target liver and brain tumors, and classify knee and breast cancer.
Medical researchers and scientists have a lot to gain from NVIDIA's solutions and technologies, especially when it comes to streamlining the process and results related to diagnostic imaging, something so important to modern society.

New integrations for better diagnostics g3f4
A NVIDIA also announced that it is carrying out new integrations to its framework of AI so that professionals can work at greater speed and, of course, with tools they already know.
The first one is that the MONAI was integrated from Amazon HealthLake, which can be explained as a large information network in which specialists can have a chronological view of specific patients or a mass population. This will allow physicians to visualize, process and segment diagnostic images in real time.
O Google Cloud now s the MONAI: The gain is that healthcare specialists will be able to use AI-assisted annotation tools to automate the manual and repetitive task of labeling medical images. It is a breakthrough that should generate more productivity on a daily basis and save more and more lives.
Another integration is Nuance Precision Imaging Network, powered by Microsoft Azure. This is one of the most used companies by US radiologists and NVIDIA hopes to deliver better breast cancer screening, lung function scoring and adrenal cancer detection.
Finishing the ads, a partnership with the AI Center for Value Based Healthcare so that, through images, better diagnoses of COVID-19, breast cancer, brain tumor, stroke detection and percentage of cancer risk can be made. O AI Center created an artificial intelligence that can help 18 million patients in 10 hospitals in the NHS.
