Projects
- Fall R21 for ablation planning project in prep
- Basically just budget and finalize approach left
- Summer industry mtbi project site visit happened, moving ahead
- Image fusion for DBS (Assad) ramping up
- Collins working w med student on data review and using Velocity (registration software) to directly measure MR->intraop CT brain shift
- Kobayashi (ED) AHRQ R18 proposal for developing "Smart Alarms" awarded, we have a modest consultant fee to help with systems integration
Publications
- 1 abstract submitted: ultrasound texture analysis (Wu) for Lifespan research
- 6 manuscripts in prep: 2x ablation (Deshazer, Cook/Glidden), endoscopy (Luks/Fallon), u/s shape modeling for stenostosis (Taylor/DeFreitas), u/s texture analysis (Beland/Wu), google glass (Porter/Chai/R Wu)
Staff/Students
- Garron Deshazer presented a poster at a MICCAI workshop and is continuing work on patient-specific thermal ablation simulations with Walsh and Prakash (KSU)
- Krishna Nand is continuing work on statistical models for predicting ablation treatment shape with Kimia and others
- Jie Ying Wu is working on applying our ultrasound texture analysis methodology to ischemic stroke assessment
- Adding Wes Albright, AMS student, to ablation planning project as data curator, has a background in segmentation, Matlab, dual energy CT
3D Lab/HI-RES
Facilities
- Keyed, but needs rekeyed
- Still juggling offices
- PO in to ORA for tech package (thanks Smith and Noto)
- Macs delivered, installed, secured (thanks Merck and Collins)
Significant updates to website
- Support collaborative posting via Dropbox
- Clinical service menu
- Publication self-archival
Research imaging database
- Working with Howison on possible CCV plan leveraging BIBS resources
- Working with Stockman/Palm on possible Azure + Xnat plan
Sundries
- Presented as a "Visionary Speaker" at RIH Business Development Workshop (for Brouillette)
- HIRES meeting w 5 department chiefs
- 3D printing meeting w Tung, Wong, students
- He needs a cellular printer; we need something more traditional; next steps?
- Research meeting with the new chief of med phys in radonc
- Has good startup support for developing a research program + wants to work closely w us
- Halilaj dissertation defense (w Crisco, Laidlaw, Fleming, many others)
- Research meeting with Haemmerich, another international authority on ablation modeling and invited him to workshop
Coming up
- RSNA presentations in 6 weeks; is there departmental support for student presentations? Could use support for Deshazer (ablation w Dupuy) and Konrad (u/s w Beland)
Next Computer Vision & Image Analysis Research Update Meeting: Tuesday 10/28 11am
