Engineering Doctorate Placement in Medical Image Registration

Toshiba Medical Visualization Systems Europe, Ltd (TMVS) is co-sponsoring a four year Engineering Doctorate placement through the EPSRC Industrial Doctorate Centre in Optics and Photonics Technologies, at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh.   

Image registration concerns discovering a spatial transformation to align corresponding features in 2D or 3D images. It has become a crucial enabling technology in medical imaging, for applications such as aligning images from a current and previous scan of a patient in order to understand disease progression or efficacy of treatment. Inter-modal registration involves the alignment of e.g. an MR and a CT scan from a patient allowing decisions to be based on the fused result. In population studies, or where aligning an 'atlas', the registration problem is inter-patient, posing particular problems due to anatomical variation. Some applications concern alignment with images acquired during an interventional procedure, imposing requirements for "real time" performance. The aligning transformation required can be a simple translation, or fully elastic warping, depending on the application. In some cases, the purpose is alignment for direct presentation to clinicians, though increasingly the result feeds into further image analysis algorithms.

Thus there are many challenges, arising from changing pathology, varying anatomy, artifacts and noise particular to each imaging modality and the requirement for rapid execution on large datasets. This project will tackle these issues with the goal of creating a flexible registration framework for medical applications.

The student will require core skills in mathematics, numerical optimization, image processing and software engineering. He or she will work as an integrated member of the TMVS Research Team.
Details on how to apply can be found on the Industrial Doctorate Centre site http://www.idcphotonics.hw.ac.uk/apply.html..  For eligibility criteria and further information please see this link.

Thank you for your interest in Toshiba Medical Visualization Systems Europe, Limited.
