Introduction of Persistence Barcodes

Persistence barcodes are a novel tool introduced in radiology that transforms complex medical images into interpretable patterns. This method, derived from Topological Data Analysis, highlights critical features such as tissue densities, blood vessels, and tumors. By doing so, it reduces diagnostic bias and helps uncover subtle details that may be overlooked by traditional AI systems. The technology's ability to visualize how features emerge and fade across various scales greatly enhances diagnostic accuracy and patient care.
