Smart medical laboratory
"One of the most popular terms associated with advanced technological development in any field today, is the word ‘smart’. With the great development that has affected neuronal networks and artificial intelligence in recent years and the revolution in computer vision and detection technologies. And advances in modern technologies such as laptop and mobile with most people and its widespread availability and the Internet has become almost everywhere. It became necessary to modernize the medical laboratories and integrate medicine with technology. Therefore, we proposed this project to start developing disease diagnosis techniques through magnetic resonance imaging, cancerous block detection and CBC blood analysis through computer vision algorithms and artificial intelligence techniques, and this leads to reduced human intervention in these tasks and reduces errors that can occur when diagnosing.

Sistemi ACM e imaging diagnostico : Le immagini mediche come matrici attive di connessioni = ACM systems and diagnostic imaging : Medical images as active matrices of connections
The first hypothesis underlying ACM (Active Connections Matrix) systems is that each N-dimensional image can be transformed into a network of interconnected pixels that develops over time through local, deterministic, and iterative operations. The transformed image can display, in a larger dimensional space, morphological and dynamic regularities that, in the original dimensions, would be invisible or could be classified as noise. This hypothesis allows us to explain the second hypothesis underlying ACM systems: each image contains within it the inherent mathematics that produced it. In practice, it is as if each image concealed within it two other invisible images. ACM systems extract them and make them visible. The work also describes possible applications in diagnostic imaging and is therefore aimed at physicists, computer scientists, radiologists, and laboratory technicians who work in image processing.
