CIALAB has moved to Wake Forest

The Clinical Image Analysis Lab (CIALAB) that was started by Dr. Metin Gurcan in 2005 at the Ohio State University has moved to Wake Forest School of Medicine. The new lab at Wake Forest will retain its name, but its web page will now be located at: http://tsi.wakehealth.edu/CIALab/ 

Dr. Gurcan was recruited as the inaugural Director of the Center for Biomedical Informatics at Wake Forest School of Medicine. The newly established Center will strengthen Wake Forest’s infrastructures for informatics research in genomics, imaging, healthcare delivery, and population health and support the informatics needs of other research centers. In so doing, the Center will promote Wake Forest Baptist Health's evolution as a learning health care system. A further goal of the Center is to train the next generation of investigators in the principles and practice of biomedical informatics. 

The CIALab has been one of the leading research labs in the world and known for its innovative and transformative methods, algorithms and software development in histopathological, radiological and photographic image analysis. With support from several federal, state and foundation funding from both the US and Europe, the CIALAB has successfully developed several projects. Another important contribution of the lab has been to train the next generation of researchers. Several of our students and postdocs have assumed faculty, research and leadership positions since their graduation.

In its new home at Wake Forest, the CIALAB continues to pursue its mission of developing image analysis algorithms to improve human health and well-being while training future research leaders in this field.

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...
