@raresearchingdk Not a medical doctor, but I compared it to my own mri. The difference I see: looks like there's something inside the sinus, below the eye. It's really white, so 'watery'... Maybe mucus? The difference is quite obvious, a medical doctor should have no problem to tell what it is.

Amazing how these two machines do essentially the same thing. You don't need fancy tools to explore the natural world.

@digitalsreeni Right for deep learning, however in my experience random forest on image features does a better job than otsu+watershed
What do you think?

@tidona That's true... and that might be the reason why those dates were picked: translation from an american article.
Still for month/day/year you would have at least 10.02.2001, 11.02.2011
I don't know what meaning it would have to consider mm/dd/aaaa and dd/mm/aaaa as the same

@tidona Last one was 20.02.2002, no wait... 21.02.2012.
Then there's 10.02.2001... i guess journalists failed again at fact checking

@Maurice_Y_Lee It sounds very interesting, why do you think you don't have enough data? What is missing?

Scientists infused a 3D-printed rabbit with genetic material, the first step toward a potential “DNA of things” where biology makes gadgets smarter. https://t.co/yQjSMx3RyT #3dprinting #DNAdatastorage

Tiny genetic genealogy company used to hunt killer is kaput. Interesting, they basically force all users to agree to the DNA data transfer or disagree. Don't think you saw a prominent un-join option when Facebook acquired Whatsapp or Instagram.

Fact check: CRISPR employed in treating cancer many times in China already.

@SimonSublime How did you achieve such a depth of field? Focus stacking? I'd be very interested in knowing your setup
