Berzelius Research Showcase

Below is a snapshot of a few of the groundbreaking research projects currently taking advantage of Berzelius high performance computing resources.

Training AI Models with Synthetic Images

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help oncologists efficiently and precisely identify areas requiring radiation therapy for cancerous tumors. However, the scarcity of medical data for training AI models remains a challenge. To address this, researchers are turning to synthetic medical images. Leveraging the Berzelius supercomputer, this method has accelerated progress, avoiding years of potential waiting.

Anders Eklund's research team at Linköping University utilizes the Berzelius supercomputer at the National Supercomputer Center (NSC) to generate and evaluate synthetic MRI images of brain tumors. Conducting this research on a standard powerful computer would have required more than five years. To evaluate these synthetic images, the team uses AI to compare them with actual MRI scans of brain tumors, employing models trained on both image types.
