Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is a disorder in which ventricles in the brain swell from an accumulation of excess cerebrospinal fluid. This disorder can lead to difficulty in walking, thinking, and other daily functions. Like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, NPH affects the elderly but is often misdiagnosed. As such, a NPH detection module has been integrated into the BisQue cloud platform. This module performs image segmentation on brain CT scans to locate and identify the volume of brain ventricles and ultimately provide a fast method to properly diagnose multitudes of patients.
