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...

Dr. Gurcan to present a tutorial at IEEE ICASSP 2010

Dr. Gurcan will present a tutorial at IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) 2010 entitled “Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis Techniques.” ( http://www.icassp2010.org/Tutorial_03.asp) Biomedical image processing and analysis requires coordinated efforts of medical professionals, algorithmic and software engineers, and statisticians. Basic image processing techniques are frequently used in every aspect of the development from initial pre-processing techniques for noise reduction, to segmentation of lesions, to registration of lesions. Recent advances in hardware and software have made it possible to create digital scans of whole slides. These images are relatively large (100k x 100k) and in color, hence processing them present new challenges. Similarly, new computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scanners produce thousands of slices of images. The processing need for these images are enormous. Although biomedical image analy...

Meniscus research to be presented at 2009 OARSI World Congress on Osteoarthritis

CIALAB work detailing relationships between the meniscus and cartilage, and their implications in the development and progression of osteoarthritis, has been accepted for presentation at the 2009 OARSI World Congress on Osteoarthritis. The analysis was performed by Jeff Prescott, Furqan Haq PhD, Tom Best MD/PhD, Micheal Pennell PhD, Rebecca Jackson MD, and Metin Gurcan PhD. The full abstract appears below. Purpose : To determine associations between meniscus volume and knee cartilage morphological measurements in subjects with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods : All data was obtained from the Osteoarthritis Initiative’s (OAI) public use dataset (www.oai.ucsf.edu). A sample of progression subjects produced by the OAI was used for the study (Subgroup B, release 0.B.2). Out of the 160 subjects in the sample, two had no discernable meniscus and were excluded, leaving 158 subjects in the analysis. The current study focused on the right knee, as this was the only knee for which cartilage measur...
