Drs. Abas, Goceri, and Kus Present Research at International Scholar Research Exposition

Out of more than 1,800 international visiting scholars at the Ohio State University, Dr. Abas of Malaysia and Drs. Goceri and Kus of Turkey were three of thirty-three finalists chosen to present their research at the International Scholar Research Exposition. The exposition recognizes the presence of visiting scholars on campus and their contribution to the university and global community. On November 20,2015, the Opening Reception of the 10th Annual International Scholar Research Exposition was held for the finalists to present their research.  Their posters will be on display during November and December in Bricker Hall.




 

Dr. Abas’s poster was titled “Acne Image Analysis: Lesion Localization and Classification.” His research addressed the assessment of acne and used a computer-assisted image analysis approach to generate region-of-interest map for acne lesions as a preliminary step to count the number of lesions within a specific area. This research would greatly benefit the development of new pharmaceuticals by accurately quantifying and evaluating the severity of acne. More information about his research can be found at https://oia.osu.edu/scholar-research-exposition/research-summaries-2015/3974-acne-image-analysis-lesion-localization-and-classification.html.




Dr. Goceri’s research, “Segmentation and Visualization of Liver and Vessels from Abdominal SPIR MR Images,” focused on segmenting liver and vessels, which is often identified differently by separate radiologists. Her research used a fully-automated segmentation approached that contained an energy function of her design that uses properties of a closed curve to define the liver automatically. This research helps provide precise measurements and analysis of liver and vessels which is of vital importance in pre-evaluation for liver transplantation.  More information about her research can be found at https://oia.osu.edu/scholar-research-exposition/research-summaries-2015/3988-segmentation-and-visualization-of-liver-and-vessels-from-abdominal-spir-mr-images.html.





Dr. Kus’s research, “Detection and Segmentation of Necrosis from Histopathological Slides of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infected Lung Tissue,” focused on developing computer-assisted image analysis methods to detect and segment necrosis on sections of tuberculosis infected guinea pig lungs. Her research segment necrosis regions from the granuloma by classifying the image pixels into necrotic and non-necrotic areas and was done using an integrated framework of feature extraction and a morphological tissue segmentation algorithm. This research has developed algorithms to help understand pulmonary tuberculosis, which will help to better identify and treat infected patients.

CIALAB encouraging talented young minds with summer internships

CIALAB is pleased to introduce the three interns namely Tong Gan, Rosana Rodriguez Milanes and Michael Priddy working through summer’09. Rosana Rodriguez Milanes - I am a third year undergraduate student in Electronic Engineering from Universidad del Norte, Colombia. My experience as a volunteer foreign student in the Clinical Image Analysis Laboratory has been an edifying, gratifying and enriching. Being able to participate, to learn and to collaborate in the Clinical Image Analysis Laboratory during the past two weeks has allowed me to improve my analytical and interpretative skills in processing histopathological and MRI images. I have been able to learn about segmentation, region growing, splitting and merging algorithms development. I have also had the privilege of knowing and interacting with excellent engineers who have helped me improve my skills as a foreign student. I am grateful for the opportunity that the Ohio State University has given me to collaborate and to learn with...

Recent publications

The CIA lab has recently had 4 articles published in PLOS One and the Journal of Urology. Automated Staging Of T1 Bladder Cancer Using Digital Pathologic H&E Images: A Deep Learning approach (Journal of Urology). The paper discusses the need for accurately gauging tumor cell intrusion into Lamina Propria in an effort to substage bladder cancer. It explains how transfer learning in conjunction with Convolutional Neural Networks can be used to accurately identify different bladder layers and then compute the distance between tumor nuclei and Lamina Propria. The article is available here:  https://www.jurology.com/article/S0022-5347(18)41148-2/pdf Identifying tumor in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms from Ki67 images using transfer learning (PLOS One). This paper examines a proposed methodology to automatically differentiate between NET and non-tumor regions based on images of Ki67 stained biopsies. It also uses transfer learning to exploit a rich set of features ...

BMI researchers to receive prestigious Intramural Award

BMI researcher Metin Gurcan, PhD (Professor, Director of Division of Clinical and Translational Informatics) in collaboration with Anil Parwani, MD, PhD, MBA (Vice Chair of Pathology) and Cheryl Lee, MD (Chair of Urology) have been awarded one of the prestigious OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center Intramural Research Funding Awards. The research team for the project also includes Soledad Fernandez, PhD (BMI), Nancy Single (CCC), Khalid Niazi, PhD (BMI) and Brett Klamer, MS (BMI).   The two-year project, entitled Application of image analysis tools to accurately stage and risk stratify patients with T1 bladder cancer, will be primarily funded by Pelotonia dollars. Pelotonia is a three-day bike tour organized every year in Columbus to raise money for cancer research with one goal: “End Cancer.” Every rider-raised dollar goes to fund research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Bladder cancer is an important disease that affects nearly 77,000 people annuall...
