Abstract: Medical imaging techniques such as CT, MRI and PET are routinely used to generate detailed 3D images of the human body. In addition to qualitative analysis performed by radiologists, digital image analysis can be used to extract quantitative information about the patient from the image data. This ability to extract quantitative information about patients has a huge potential in clinical research. In this talk, I will give an overview of ongoing research projects in medical image analysis at Uppsala University. These projects offer a broad range of interesting research challenges, from solving large scale combinatorial optimization problems to developing efficient interfaces for complex 3D user interaction.
