Toronto, June 2009: ISTPCanada has announced it will fund AUG Signals’ and SoftTeam Solutions’ project aimed at the development of a software product that will automatically and non-invasively detect and recognize tumours using positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Developing an automated means to detect tumours will eliminate the time-consuming, exhausting and potentially error-prone task of tracing out tumours. This will allow medical experts to concentrate on analysis and diagnosis, with the result of speeding up and improving tumour diagnosis.

Consortium Partners:

AUG Signals (Toronto)
SoftTeam Solutions (Chennai)
Hospital For Sick Children (Toronto)
