Two students of Gandhigram Rural Institute, in Dindigul district’s Gandhigram village near here, have won the first prize with a cash award of Rs 40,000 at the National Student Research Convention held in Mumbai recently.
According to S. Karthigai Selvi, a Ph. D. student and M. Raj Kumar, an MCA student, their project, titled Radiological support system of brain abnormality detection from MRI Scans , was selected under the health science and allied sciences category.
The two say that the first 20 minutes is critical in a trauma care situation to save a patient. Their application could be used during such an emergency situation. When an MRI scan is done for head injuries, it could be made available through cloud computing and accessed through smart phones. The physician, using this application, can easily locate the injury and alert the supporting staff on the appropriate surgery plan, they explained.
