Diagnostic Radiology Expert SystemS
project focusing on Multi-Dimensional Medical
Data Analysis and Visualization

• A Flexible Volumetric Data Analysis and
  Visualization Platform Development
• The research involves working on a flexible
  platform (VAVframe), developed in our lab, with
  special emphasis on natural human-computer
  interface design, such as using 3D monitors,
  camera tracking systems, etc., for manipulating
  and visualizing multi-dimensional data.
• This research is part of the SIMILAR NoE (EU 6th
  Framework Programme).

• Magnetic Resonance Diffusion Tensor Image
  Analysis
• The research aims at understanding the
  connectivity in human brain based on in-vivo
  MR-DTI data. This information will later be
  correlated with cognitive functions and/or used
  in understanding the physiological aspects of
  brain diseases.
• This research is being carried out as part of
  the SIMILAR NoE (EU 6th Framework Programme) and
  in collaboration with Stanford University, LUCAS
  MRS/I Center, CA,USA

• Computer Aided Detection / Diagnosis in Virtual
  Examinations such as Colonoscopy (CTC)
• Our research on CTC aims detecting precursors of
  colon cancer for early diagnosis. The research
  involves working with mathematical models to
  understand, classify, warp and deform shapes
  (curved surfaces in most cases) in 3D. The
  outcomes have the potential of being extended to
  several other medical applications beyond
  colonoscopy, such as angiography, etc.
• We are collaborating with Stanford University,
  3D Radiology Laboratory, CA, USA

• The students will be in active collaboration,
  including exchange programmes, with research
  partners including
• The EU 6th Framework Programme (www.similar.cc)
  partners including Université Catholique de
  Louvain la Neuve, Belgium, Imperial College, UK,
  and University of Linkoping, Sweden
