Taking Measurements From Landmarks In Medical Images
|
|
Speaker: Irina Voiculescu
Abstract: Automated analysis of medical scan data revolves around detecting contours
or whole features such as organs. Clinicians sometimes make decisions on the basis of other information, such as length or angle measurements. Angles are conventionally determined by points, and detecting key points, also known as landmarks, turns out to be
an interesting problem.
Squeamishness warning: beware of xrays of human bones.
When: 5-6PM, Thursday 7th March
Where: Lecture Theatre B, Department of Computer Science 7 Parks Rd, Oxford
OX1 3QG

Make sure
to join OxWoCS (Oxford Women in CS), a society we're working closely with, if you identify as a
woman or woman-adjacent person in CS! They have a host of wonderful events on, including talks, panels and socials. Computer Science is unfortunately a subject with one of the biggest gender gaps in Oxford and worldwide, and addressing this is
at the core of OxWoCS.
