Medical Image Analysis Lab (MIAL)

Medical imaging is revolutionizing medicine, as it allows scientists, clinicians, and researchers to peer inside the living body. The lab develops automated and interactive computational methods and mathematical models for extracting useful information from these images. The lab's research is especially critical, giving the continuously increasing number, resolution, and complexity of biomedical images collected at multiple scales using different modalities for numerous medical applications. This lab’s techniques are needed to track, diagnose and treat pathologies, as well as to build models of normal anatomy and function. Application areas include: neurology, cardiology, dermatology, surgery, radiology, urology, musculoskeletal, pediatrics, radiation therapy, and linguistics.
