MIKAIA® University App Notes are blog articles, where we describe a particular MIKAIA® app or a medical use case in a step-by-step fashion. Our app notes typically describe what the expected input images look like and what quantitative outputs can be generated. They contain many screenshots and explain the concepts or in some cases even the technical background of the image analysis apps.
We are frequently releasing new app notes.
