PhD position in multi-modal image processing, b<>com Brest, France

Posted: Oct. 28th 2013

It is increasingly common to combine multiple methods of treatment, i.e., treatment modalities, with the intention to improve patient outcomes and reduce complications. Each treatment modality may consist of (1) multiple images acquired by one or more modalities (e.g. PET and CT) and (2) contextual information (e.g. clinical reports). To improve patient outcome, one approach is to unify the imaging information and the context information so that the therapy planning, therapy guidance and post-treatment evaluation are simplified. In practice, whereas Picture Archive and Communication Systems (PACS), employed in hospital, store multi-modal images and contextual information, simultaneous re-use of both information cannot be done in a simple fashion.

This Ph.D. will focus on the integration of multi-modal imaging information accrued by contextual information extracted from a PACS.

A first problem to address is the analysis of multi-modal images (e.g., PET/CT). This analysis requires, for example, image processing (image quality improvement or image artifact reduction) followed by image analysis (segmentation or biomarker extraction). A second problem to investigate is the association of quantitative parameters extracted from multi-modal images with other contextual information. This also involves the automatic generation of clinical reports both associating results of multi-parameter image analysis and contextual information, with the goal of assisting physicians with clinical decisions. It is intended that this Ph.D. will lead to a Clinical Decision Support System demonstrator dedicated to a specific context/pathology (e.g. oncology or neurology).

The PhD fellowship is funded by b<>com (http://b-com.com) which is a Technology Research Institute located in Brest, Rennes and Lannion (France). This Ph.D thesis will be carried out under the supervision of M. Hatt (research associate, INSERM) and G. Coatrieux, Assistant Professor (Telecom Bretagne) and located at b<>com on the Brest-Iroise Science and Technology Park.

Expected qualifications: - Minimum MSc degree (Computer Science) - Experience in developing medical imaging applications is desirable - Prior experience in image analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision - Programming experience in C++

We seek to upload embryonic development into a virtual life form called the Digital Fish through the use of genetics, molecular imaging, and information technology. Our approach called “in toto imaging” is to use confocal/2-photon imaging to image all the cells in developing transgenic zebrafish embryos and special software we are developing called GoFigure to extract complete cell lineages and gene expression patterns.

We are looking for people with strong experience in C++ programming and VTK/ITK to join our GoFigure development team. There are a number of significant image analysis problems we are addressing including: segmenting cells in space, across time, and across cell division; quantitating protein expression patterns and subcellular localization; developing a standard, cell-based, 4-d atlas of embryonic development; and registering molecular data from thousands of different embryos onto this atlas.

There are opportunities at the graduate, post-doc, and staff levels. The successful applicant would join our team at Caltech in Pasadena/LA soon and then move with us to my new lab in the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School in Boston in summer 2008. To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, and letters of reference to me by email (megason@caltech.edu).

For more information please see below: www.digitalfish.org <http://www.digitalfish.org/> or talk to Alexandre Gouaillard or myself at the upcoming NAMIC meeting in Boston ( june 2007 ). http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/NA-MIC_NCBC_Collaboration:3D%2Bt_Cells_Lineage:GoFigure
