Objective
Mathematical models are the foundation of biomedical computing. Basing those models on data extracted from images continues to be a fundamental technique for achieving scientific progress in experimental, clinical biomedical, and behavioral research. This project is dedicated to promoting the advancement of medical image computing which will have broad and significant impact on the biomedical community. Images, acquired by a range of techniques across all biological scales, are central to understanding biological problems and their impacts on human health purely because images now encompass so many techniques beyond the visible light photographs and microscope images of biology's early years. Today, imaging is better thought of as geometrically arranged arrays of data samples measuring such diverse physical quantities as time-varying hemoglobin deoxygenation during neuronal metabolism or vector-valued measurements of water diffusion through and within tissue.
The broadening scope of imaging as a way to organize our observations of the biophysical world has led to a dramatic increase in our ability to apply novel processing techniques and to combine multiple channels of data into sophisticated and complex mathematical models of physiological function and dys function. The goal of our work is to create, develop, integrate and deploy computation tools for the analysis and visualization of medical image data. A central issue is to create and evaluate computational methods to extract this range of structures from medical image data, robustly and accurately. This will require novel segmentation and registration tools that incorporate statistical information on tissue response, structural information on expected spatial layout of structures (e.g. atlases), shape information on expected geometric appearance of structures, and system constraints on location, structure and shape of anatomical regions.
