Computer Vision and Preventing Strokes
Wed, Jun 10 · 6:00 PM EDT
BU Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences (CDS), 665 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA, US
Let's get together, eat pizza, and hear from local companies and experts in the field. In this event we hear from Harald Ruda (LinkedIn), about Elucid's revolutionary medical imaging product. We will also hear from a couple of BU PhD students (details to come), and a CVPR recap.

Elucid works on measurements of plaque buildup in arteries from CT scan, a promising approach to measure risk of stroke, and to save lives. Harald will discuss how one creates computer vision algorithms to measure plaque buildup, and the potential live saving abilities of the algorithms.

Meeting Location: BU CDS-1750 (Center for Computing & Data Sciences, 17th floor) at 665 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02215.
