Comments from Judges
Analyzes MRI images in 20 seconds. Replacing a team of human researchers working for months to analyze the same images.

This original research can lead to a new clinical diagnostic tool.

May be applicable to other kinds of images. --Drew 14:25, 28 April 2012 (PDT)

Suggestions for Future work
Jordan is a senior and will not be competing in future Challenges. But, I hope he will keep us informed about his future progress with this work.

I wonder if MATLAB Neural Networks does 3D networks combing information from 2D image slices. If so you might be able to eliminate some detailed code, and get better results. Let's ask Cleve --Drew 11:33, 28 April 2012 (PDT)
