ALL WELCOME
With the advancement of medical imaging technologies, such as MRI and ultrasound, we increasingly require robust computer algorithms to harvest relevant and useful imaging measurements from big data for clinical decision making.
This talk will describe medical image analysis algorithms that have been developed at Carleton to quantify new imaging biomarkers from MRI and Ultrasound imaging for cardiovascular disease prognosis. These biomarkers include three-dimensional (3D) measurements of atherosclerotic plaque and scarred (injured) tissue in the cardiac muscle in patients suffering from heart attacks.
