Rob McLeod (Universität Utah): New Reasons for Doctors to Like Imaging: Applications in Brain Research and Cardiology
Monday, 29.06.2009 16:00 im Raum M3
Recent improvements in image acquisition in multiple modalities is driving
many facets of science, but none more than the biomedical sciences and
clinical practice. With these improvements come also new opportunities
for interdisciplinary collaborations that seek to address old and new
clinical challenges. These clinical challenges, in turn, can motivate new
advances in technical image acquisition and processing; the result is a
powerful synergy that brings together scientists and engineers with very
diverse training and skills. The faculty, students, and staff of the
Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute seek to identify and
pursue new opportunities for collaboration based on state of the art
computational science by identifying compelling biomedical problems that
could benefit.
In this presentation, we will discuss the overall approach of SCI and how
it benefits from and adds value to biomedical research in the brain and
heart. Specific application problems will include bioelectric source
location in the brain, simulation of cardiac defibrillation in children,
and MRI based management of patients with atrial fibrillation. All these
examples are based on elements of a general purpose image based modeling
pipeline we have developed.
