JAPC - Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging and Imaging Informatics

Speaker: Dr. Usha Sinha, Department of Radiology, UCLA

Topic: "Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging and Imaging Informatics: From Data to Knowledge"

Time: 2:00 PM, Friday, March 2, 2007

Place: P-148 (refreshments will be served at 1:45 PM in P146A)

Abstract: The presentation covers the range from MR image acquisition through image processing to imaging informatics. MR image acquisition focuses on imaging pulse sequence development for specific clinical applications. Areas of clinical application include cardiac, brain, breast, prostate, and musculo-skeletal anatomical regions.
Imaging informatics addresses the problems related to large volumes of imaging studies. The challenges in this area include standardizing imaging data, developing techniques for automated assessment of population based differences in imaging studies, creating effective data models to represent information extracted from images, as well as implementing effective summarization and visualization techniques. The presentation will include some of these aspects and our approach to address these challenges.
