Imaging Informatics: Where Big Data Began
Wednesday, February 7, 2018
5:00-7:00pm
Gleacher Center
Images are an efficient and visually intuitive way to present human observers with the vast amounts of data acquired by medical scanners. The data underlying medical images, however, have inherent informatics challenges while at the same time offering vast opportunities for mining and quantitative analysis. This seminar will explore these challenges and opportunities.
Speaker: Samuel G. Armato III, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Chicago. He is chair of the University’s Committee on Medical Physics and the Director of the Graduate Program in Medical Physics. His current research focus is in the field of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), which combines the disciplines of physics, mathematics, computer science, and statistics to analyze medical images for the early detection and diagnosis of disease. His work includes the development and evaluation of computerized techniques for the quantitative analysis of medical images and the assessment of tumor response to therapy.
