Up to half of the population in the United States and United Kingdom will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Of those, half will be treated with radiotherapy (RT), often in combination with other treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and increasingly immunotherapy. Radiotherapy involves focusing high-intensity radiation beams to damage the DNA of deep-seated cancerous tumors while avoiding surrounding healthy organs (known as organs at risk or OARs). Around 40% of…
“One of the challenges for us as a company, and us as an industry, is that many of the technologies we rely on are beginning to get to the point where either they are at the end, or they’re starting to get to the point where you can see the end. Moore’s Law is a well-publicized one and we hit it some time ago. And that’s a great opportunity, because whenever you get that rollover,…
On day two of HTN Now November, we welcomed the Microsoft Research InnerEye team to share how their AI for medical image analysis programme is benefiting clinicians at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS FT. Javier Alvarez-Valle, Principal Research Manager, Microsoft Research and Dr Raj Jena, Group Leader in Machine Learning & Radiomics in Radiation therapy, University of Cambridge, led the session. The InnerEye team partnered with Addenbrooke’s Hospital to support areas such as consistent radiotherapy contouring and planning for prostate and head…
Cecily Morrison, a principal researcher at Microsoft’s Research Lab in Cambridge, has been awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. The 39-year-old, who is currently working on a project that uses technology to help people with low vision understand who’s around them, has been recognised for her work in inclusive design.
Early research on what could one day live in the cloud Microsoft has announced Project HSD, an effort to build holographic storage devices for its Azure cloud service. While the idea of storing data throughout the volume of the medium (rather than on the surface as with magnetic and optical data storage devices) is not new, Microsoft believes that smartphone camera and display advances mean that reading data from HSDs is now much more scaleable.…
When people think of holograms, they may think of the small insignia on credit cards that appear to move as you rotate the card. Or they may think of recent rock concert spectacles featuring realistic 3-D performances by singers who are no longer alive. Whitney Houston, Roy Orbison, Tupac Shakur, Buddy Holly and Ronnie James Dio drew rave reviews from fans in 'live' performances made possible by holography even though they all have been dead…
It's possible thanks to modern smartphone cameras. Microsoft is looking beyond flash storage and hard drives to handle the seemingly unstoppable demand for cloud storage. Yesterday at its Ignite conference, the company announced Project HSD (via ZDNet), a new research initiative that’s exploring how holographic storage could eventually be used for the cloud. And while it may sound far-fetched, the notion of holographic storage has been around since the 1960’s. But now, Microsoft thinks it may be possible…
Project Holographic Storage Device works on new holographic storage device for 'warm' data in the cloud. Microsoft Research has announced Project HSD, detailing its work on a new holographic storage device (HSD) built for cloud-scale data that has a potential to be a successor to today's NAND flash and spinning hard disk drives. Project HSD, a collaboration between Microsoft Research Cambridge and Microsoft Azure, aims to exploit the commoditization of high-resolution smartphone cameras to reimagine…
