# BrainIAC: Brain Age Prediction Demo

This Hugging Face Space hosts an interactive demo for the BrainIAC model, predicting brain age from MRI scans.

**Features:**
- Upload NIfTI (.nii.gz) or DICOM (.zip) files.
- Optional preprocessing pipeline (Registration, Enhancement, Skull Stripping).
- Optional generation of saliency map visualizations.
- Predicts brain age in years based on the input scan.

The application runs inside a Docker container defined by the `Dockerfile`. It uses Flask, MONAI, HD-BET, and ITK/Elastix.
