Project Description

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
Train a neural network to become a binary classifier for the detection of cancer lesions using T2 ROI images	Start with a dataset, prepared at the Frederick National Lab for Cancer Research, to use to train a classifier. The dataset consists of a series of 52x52 Region Of Interest T2 MR images containing cancer lesions and two T2 image series which do not contain lesions. We plan to collect advice from others at the Project Week, select a deep learning framework, and attempt to build a classifer using this training data.	created a DIGITS 4 Amazon instance using NVIDIA's marketplace image Initial exploration with DIGITS 4 has begun. Preparing the dataset in the style of the MNIST example.
