Design of a system to achieve diagnosis of brain lesions of suspected infectious origin from a database and a radiologic software

This Brainsupporters project aims at creating an international database including an extensive collection of radiologic images of brain lesions and the relevant clinical, laboratory and microbiological data, and a software, to highlight and differentiate the minimal alteration in the radiologic footprint related to the local alterations of brain tissue produced by each individual pathogen that will become an objective diagnostic tool. Clinical parameters will be taken into account in defining a procedure to estimate the probability that the difference between an image and a template be due to a specific pathological agent.
