Bao, Shunxing (2018-11-27)Department: Computer ScienceLarge-scale medical imaging studies to date have predominantly leveraged in-house, laboratory-based or traditional grid computing resources for their computing needs, where the applications often use hierarchical data ...
-
Datteri, Ryan David (2014-10-29)Department: Computer ScienceIn the field of image registration there is a pressing need for techniques that can assess the quality of a registration. Currently there is no widespread method to determine error in an image registration, a weakness of ...
-
Noble, Jack Henry (2011-04-18)Department: Electrical EngineeringThis dissertation presents studies on, and from, the development of algorithms for the automatic segmentation of the structures of the ear. Many otological procedures would benefit from a system that automatically identifies ...
-
Chen, Antong (2012-08-06)Department: Electrical EngineeringCancers in the head and neck region account for approximately 3 percent of all cancers in the United States, as it is reported by the American Cancer Society. Depending on the location and stage of the cancers, surgery, ...
-
Xu, Zhoubing (2016-01-26)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe human abdomen is an essential, yet complex body space clinically. Computational tomography (CT) scans are routinely taken for the diagnosis and prognosis of abdomen-related diseases, such as the pathological injuries ...
-
Zhao, Yiyuan (2018-04-23)Department: Electrical EngineeringCochlear Implants (CIs) are neural prosthetic devices that provide a sense of sound to people who experience severe to profound hearing loss. Recent studies have demonstrated a correlation between hearing outcomes and the ...
-
DeLisi, Michael Paul (2014-04-29)Department: Biomedical EngineeringImage guided transorbital endoscopic procedures have the potential to introduce new forms of therapy to the optic nerve, such as direct delivery of neuroprotective drugs for glaucoma treatment. This technique was confirmed ...
-
Chaganti, Shikha (2019-02-18)Department: Computer ScienceDiseases of the optic nerve affect millions of Americans each year. These diseases include a wide range of conditions such as glaucoma, thyroid eye disease, optic neuritis, papilledema, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, ...
-
Han, Zhaoying (2011-09-26)Department: Electrical EngineeringDeformation Based Morphometry (DBM) is a widely used method for characterizing anatomical differences across populations. DBM is based on the analysis of the deformation fields generated by non-rigid registration algorithms ...
-
Parvathaneni, Prasanna (2019-03-22)Department: Electrical EngineeringNeuroimaging provides an opportunity to gain valuable insight onto the microstructural changes in the brain associated with healthy growth and neurological disorders when conducting longitudinal or cross sectional studies. ...
-
Schilling, Kurt Gregory (2017-12-12)Department: Biomedical EngineeringThe ability of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) fiber tractography to non-invasively map the three-dimensional (3D) network of the human brain has proven to be a valuable neuroimaging tool, improving our ...
-
Liu, Yuan (2016-11-14)Department: Computer ScienceDeep brain stimulation is a stereotactic surgery widely used to treat neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. This procedure involves inserting a permanent electrode into the deep brain and sending electrical ...
-
Asman, Andrew Joseph (2014-04-28)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe ability to generalize information from examples has been the driving force behind decades of statistical modeling and machine learning research. Building on this fundamental concept, this dissertation addresses the ...
-
Harrigan, Robert Louis (2017-03-17)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe optic nerve is a vital bundle of axons which carries all visual information from the retina posterior to the brain for higher order processing. The optic nerve and eye orbit are affected by many devastating diseases ...
-
Yang, Xue (2013-10-24)Department: Electrical EngineeringStatistical parametric mapping has been widely used in human brain mapping to explain brain image changes as a function of other factors. The core theory underlying this approach is the general linear model (GLM). Originally ...
-
Huo, Yuankai (2018-03-22)Department: Electrical EngineeringMedical imaging refers to the technologies of creating visual representation of the interior of human body. Clinical practitioners can make diagnoses by visually investigating the qualitative medical images, which relies ...
-
Ianni, Julianna Denise (2017-11-27)Department: Biomedical EngineeringHigh field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers several advantages over imaging at low field strengths, namely increased spectral resolution, better contrast due to longer T1 relaxation, higher signal to noise ratio ...
-
Unsupervised Spatiotemporal Analysis of FMRI Data For Measuring Relative Timings of Brain Responses Katwal, Santosh Bahadur (2012-12-12)Department: Electrical EngineeringFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive imaging technique that has emerged as a powerful tool to identify the brain regions involved in cognitive processes. FMRI offers spatial and temporal resolutions ...
