Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-11-supercomputer-simulation-brain.html Mon, 17 Nov 2025 08:00:02 EST news682333753 Researchers at the University of Toronto have helped reduce the preparation time needed for Gamma Knife radiosurgery—a process that typically takes hours—to around one minute by using a quantum-inspired technology called the Digital Annealer. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-04-quantum-inspired-tech-radiosurgery.html Thu, 22 Apr 2021 09:50:01 EDT news538303371 A research group led by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) have developed a novel system that can automatically detect abnormalities in fetal hearts in real-time using artificial intelligence (AI). This technology could help examiners to avoid missing severe and complex congenital heart abnormalities that require prompt treatments, leading to early diagnosis and well-planned treatment plans, and could contribute to the development of perinatal or neonatal medicine. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-09-ai-fetal-heart-problems.html Tue, 18 Sep 2018 08:00:05 EDT news456475525 Fujitsu today announced the Japan launch of Fujitsu Healthcare Solution Heart Explorer, a software for medical and nursing schools, including university medical hospitals. This software is based on the results of a heart simulator that reproduces heart behavior in exquisite detail so that the heart can be modeled in 3-D for observation and analysis. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-04-fujitsu-heart-explorer-behavior.html Wed, 11 Apr 2018 06:48:18 EDT news442648077 AI allows individualized predictions for expectant mothers and newborn children. The aim of the individual recommendations is a positive experience for the user combined with activity that is beneficial for the glucose level. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-03-ai-application-treatment-gestational-diabetes.html Thu, 08 Mar 2018 10:08:03 EST news439726061 Fujitsu Laboratories announced the development of a technology that accelerates database analyses of the correlations between genomic variations and environmental information, such as disease and lifestyle habits. This technology speeds up the process by a factor of roughly 400 compared to existing methods. Thanks to advances in genomic medicine, it is possible to analyze genomic and genetic information in combination with clinical and environmental information to study the relationship between genetic factors and environmental factors. This kind of research relies on genomic information stored in databases in order to analyze the information from different perspectives, but because of the massive volumes of genomic information being handled, there is the problem of the lengthy time required for processing. Fujitsu Laboratories has greatly accelerated analysis processing by introducing a new data structure that makes it possible to rapidly analyze large-scale genomic information within a database. This technology makes it possible to acquire knowledge that previously was difficult to obtain quickly, aiding the advance of genomic medical research. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-03-fujitsu-laboratories-technology-analysis-genomic.html Tue, 15 Mar 2016 09:20:01 EDT news377251368 Fujitsu today announced that it has developed a technology for the highly precise alignment of nodules, or growths of cells, within computed tomography (CT) images taken of the same patient on different dates. In CT imaging, the position of a nodule may change because of a person's heartbeat and breathing. In the past, these images have been aligned using surrounding blood vessels and other features as reference points, but when there are few blood vessels in close proximity, this technique is imprecise. Fujitsu has now developed a technology that very accurately aligns these images using not only nearby blood vessels, but also those located over a larger area as reference points, even when there are few blood vessels nearby. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-02-fujitsu-technology-accurately-align-nodules.html Wed, 11 Feb 2015 09:11:39 EST news342868291
