Research Interest:
- The Medical Image Processing Lab, directed by Prof. Gene Gindi, conducts investigations in medical image processing and analysis. One interest is on reconstruction in emission tomography (PET and SPECT) with a focus on statistical reconstruction methods. We also work, through a collaboration with Dr. Wei Zhao's group, on problems in reconstruction and scatter correction for X-ray breast tomosynthesis. In addition, a significant part of our work has been in the area objective assessment of image quality. In this approach, performance on a mathematically defined task of clinical relevance (such as detection and localization of a lesion) is used as a figure of merit to guide the design imaging components and data processing along the imaging chain. We have used this approach to optimize the collimator design and the reconstruction in SPECT. This has been applied to neuroendocrine tumor imagine and is currently being applied to SPECT cardiac imaging. The lab was started in 1992.
