Medical Imaging Projects:

Medical Imaging is increasingly computerized in terms of image acquisition and display. Image detectors have become so advanced that the amount of information and resolution of images acquired are  too overwhelming to be interpreted at any one time. To make optimal use of the large volumes of image data produced by modern medical imaging scanners, research on new methods for computerized analysis of images are essential in order to assist radiologists in image interpretation by improving the accuracy and consistency of the diagnoses as well as by reducing the image reading time. Besides this, there is a growing need  to increase efficiency in the detection of disease for large-scale screening programs.

Our research on this topic are focusing on three clinical applications; each in a different imaging modality: X-ray, X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):

1. Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Spinal Stenosis using lumbar spine X-ray images.
2. Semi-automatic Segmentation and Volume Determination of Brain Mass-like Lesion.
3. Computer-Aided Polyp Detection for CT Colonography.
