Clinical Image Analysis

Research Day is an annual event featuring the biomedical research of trainees within the OSU Medical Center. This group includes graduate, undergraduate, medical and MD/PhD students of the OSU College of Medicine, as well as postdoctoral fellows and researchers and clinical residents and fellows. Held each spring, Research Day features a poster display, with a judging and presentation of awards for outstanding research, as well as presentations on current topics by world renowned researchers and experts in the field of biomedical science. The following candidates from the CIALAB will be presenting their articles on the First Floor of the Biomedical Research Tower(460 W 12th Avenue, Columbus, OH) on April 2, 2009. 1) Olcay Sertel - HISTOPATHOLOGICAL IMAGE ANALYSIS 2) Jeffrey Prescott - COMPUTERIZED MUSCLE SEGMENTATION FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS RESEARCH 3) Siddharth Samsi - PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS OF FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA FOR AUGMENTING COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS: A PRELIMINARY STUDY 4) Mark Swanson - A

Jeff Prescott, an MD/PhD student in the CIALAB, has had his recent research work accepted to the OSU Hayes Graduate Research Forum in the Engineering area. The accepted abstract, entitled, "Computerized muscle segmentation for osteoarthritis research," describes a method for the automated segmentation of the quadriceps muscles using a template-based level set approach. The segmentations are meant to be used in the analysis of the Osteoarthritis Initiative imaging dataset for biomarkers of OA incidence and progression. Siddharth Samsi, a PhD student in the CIALAB also had his work accepted to the OSU Hayes Graduate Research Forum in the Engineering area. The abstract, entitled "A New Image of Cancer: Protein Signatures", describes the potential of utilizing Mass Spectrometry and image analysis for the diagnosis and grading of Follicular Lymphoma. The Hayes Graduate Research Forum is meant to "recognize outstanding graduate student scholarship within the Unive
