Reported by 9News, Clinical Director of The Florey Professor Graeme Jackson was interviewed about the technology developed at the Australian Epilepsy project.
The news report highlights that the project compares reams of data with each patient’s “medical imaging, family history, cognitive and genomic markers” to “detect abnormalities like brain lesions in 10 per cent of cases” which otherwise would have been missed.
AEP’s work is supported by NIF’s national network Partners in Brisbane at Herston Imaging Research Facility (HIRF/The University of Queensland), Newcastle at Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), Melbourne at The Florey and Adelaide at South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI).
They also join AEP collaborators from the University of Melbourne, Monash University, Alfred Health, RMIT University and Austin Health. Commercial partners such as Siemens also work closely with the AEP team.
NIF’s advanced human imaging network underpins the project, accelerating innovation and research and enabling translation of research solutions to clinical care.
