Chiari type-1 brain scan

Caption

An MRI scan shows a Chiari type-1 malformation, in which the cerebellum extends beyond the gap in the skull where it connects to the spinal cord.  Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have used AI tools to describe three sub-types of Chiari type-1, which will help guide clinicians to make the most effective treatment decisions for their patients.
