Medical image processing and mesh generation.

There are various modalities of medical images, for example: MRI; histological; X-ray. This research focuses on the best way to combine and visualise information from different imaging modalities, and on the identification of interesting regions such as tumours. This is done using segmentation and registration techniques. Furthermore, in order to reconstruct a realistic physiological model, approaches to extract physiological features and information are also employed. Typical problems include finite element meshes incorporating fibre orientation in myocardium and other important physiological properties a. The ultimate goal of this research is to build automatic tools to extract geometric and physiological information and make it routinely available to both clinicians and physiological modellers.
