Delivery of Health Care
Theme Leader: Prof. Thomas Nesbitt
The capacities of health care systems everywhere are strained due to demographic shifts, consumer trends, demand, labor force productivity and increasing costs. Fundamental and applied research in science and engineering, including telemedicine and clinical tools, can improve clinical care and its delivery.
 
 
Delivery of Health Care Spotlight

We developed a semi-automatic technique for segmenting a large cryo-sliced human brain data set that contains 753 high-resolution RGB color images. This human brain data set presents a number of unique challenges to segmentation and visualization due to its size (over 7 GB) as well as the fact that each image not only shows the current slice of the brain but also unsliced "deeper layers" of the brain. These challenges are not present in traditional MRI and CT data sets.
