'Google-Like' Database of Brain Scans May Help Doctors Treat Disorders

A team of Johns Hopkins engineers and radiologists are building a "Google-like" searchable digital library of children's brain scans in an effort to improve the way doctors treat and diagnose patients with brain disorders.


Supported by a three-year grant of $600,000 from the National Institutes of Health, the brain-scan database will help doctors in two ways. They will be able to search the database for images that match a patient's scan and identify a change in a brain structure that shows the early onset of a disease. Identifying diseases earlier means a quicker start for treatment.
