Research Description:
Wei Qian, Ph.D. Director of Medical Imaging Informatics (MII) Program: The research work is currently engaged in computerized bio-marker analysis and quantitative measurements for Medical Imaging, Biomedical Imaging and Molecular Imaging. The techniques seek to maximize the information that may be extracted from medical images by augmenting oncologists’ subjective, qualitative interpretation of the displayed images with objective, quantitative computations of the underlying numeric image data. The techniques include the detection of disease/anatomic structures of interest, the classification of lesions, the quantification of disease and anatomic structures (including volumetric analysis, disease progression, and temporal response to therapy), risk assessment, and physiologic evaluation. Computerized biomarker analysis and quantitative measurements is a broad concept that integrates image processing, computer vision, mathematics, physics, and statistics into computerized techniques that assist oncologists in their medical decision-making processes
