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, as well as creating effective data models to represent information extracted from images. The presentation will include some of these aspects and our approach to address these challenges.
