Title
Utilization of neural networks to identify and predict future cancer growth with images

Summary
We're combining network architectures in multiple areas to accelerate the treatment of cancer patients. Specifically, we're merging old and prevalent techniques such as U-Net architectures with Mathematically proven approximation theorems in order to generate entirely new images of future growth of cancer.

Aims

When given a scan of a cancer, our project wishes to generate an image of what the cancer may grow to be, assisting doctors to identify hidden dangers of even benign tumors.
