ABOUT
Mission Statement
Braincize was established to develop and offer advanced diagnostic imaging solutions using
Artificial Intelligence (AI) along with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods, to help
Predict the degree of Brain volume loss and Atrophy (Shrinkage). AI is especially helpful in
predicting regional and global atrophy in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), and Chronic
Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) due to blast-related injuries during conflicts in the middle
east as well as due to concussive and sub-concussive sport-related injuries in athletes who have
suffered repeated injuries as well. We utilize a combination of the Neurosciences along with
data driven science and Machine Learning (ML) / Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict and
establish regional and global brain volume loss resulting from such injuries as well as
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzhiemer disease, Parkinson Disease, Frontal Lobe
Dementia and other dementia syndromes which demonstrate brain atrophy as part of such
syndromes. It is important to diagnose and establish early brain atrophy in the above patients
which may lead to possible early medical intervention.
Founder/President: Dr. Calvin H Flowers M.D
Biography
Dr. Calvin Flowers is a well established academic Neuroradiologist who is an early pioneer in
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the Chicago area. He has been directly involved with
setting the early imaging protocols for MRI which have set global neuroimaging standards
globally while a freshman at the University of Illinois Chicago under Dr Mahmood Mafee, a
globally recognized Neurologic and Head and Neck Expert. Flowers's extensive MRI research
in the evaluation of dementia in patients with HIV/AIDS has been cited by the American
Journal of Neuroradiology as a landmark paper which is still currently being cited throughout
the Neurosciences literature including Neurological, Psychiatric and Neurosurgical specialties.
His contribution to the associated findings of HIV involvement and the Substantia Nigra, is
now one of his articles which is seeing a resurgence in scientific citation due to the emphasis of
pathological changes in these patients and the ongoing debate of HIV related parkinson's
disease. Doctor Flowers has presented a significant number of Scientific Papers and Posters on
MR Imaging, while teaching radiologists and other clinicians globally. Under the mentorship,
his contributions and presentations to the scientific posters at the Radiological Society of North
America (RSNA) during the early years of MRI, and is a testament to the tremendous work he
has done in the field of neuroimaging. Dr. Flowers’s more recent research Mild Traumatic
Brain Injury(mTBI) and the changes in brain morphology on conventional MRI in Veterans
from Middle East conflicts is one of the basis for his contribution to this group of patients. The
findings, which forms the basis for his involvement with Machine Learning (ML) / Artificial
Intelligence (AI) will be presented as a peer-reviewed article, and will demonstrate the utility of
conventional MRI Imaging of the Brain as a New Biomarker for mTBI/Concussion in Military
service members returning home from all of the Middle East conflicts. The findings will also be
presented along a simultaneous analogical pathway to address and predict early brain volume
loss secondary to the effects of repeated concussive and subconcussive sport-related injuries
especially in players in the National Football League (NFL) as well as the possible correlation
with early Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy(CTE). Dr. Flowers was invited to submit an
Abstract of his research, for grant funding, to the National Football League (NFL) Safety
Committee in 2018, for new ideas to help with the diagnosis and management of Chronic
Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The research will also be valuable in the diagnosis and
management of neurodegenerative diseases in which volume loss of the brain can be a hallmark
of many of these processes.
