About MIPG
Chief : Prof. J.K. Udupa
The Medical Imaging Section, historically known as the Medical Image
Processing Group, conducts full-time medically relevant research in imaging
science and offers training to students and post-doctoral fellows. The
sections's research has three primary goals: 1) to advance the state of
knowledge in the mathematical theory and computer algorithms for tomographic
images reconstruction and for the three-dimensional (3-D) visualization and
analysis of multidimensional, multiparametric, multimodality image data; 2)
to develop transportable software systems for tomographic reconstruction
and for 3-D visualization and analysis of medical image data; and 3) to
develop new medical applications for the methods of 3-D visualization and
analysis for improved diagnosis, treatment, understanding and education of
abnormalities in internal structures and in their function. The section has
pioneered in all these areas and is recognized worldwide for ongoing
cutting-edge research. It has many firsts to its credit in these areas.
Much of the activity of the section is funded by research grants from
NIH and NSF. The section consists of about 30 members. It conducts weekly
seminar during the fall and spring semesters, as well as a weekly
literature review meeting; both are often attended by researchers from other
institutions. Its state-of-the-art computing facilities consist of a local
network of more than 50 graphics workstations and numerous software packages
developed in-house.
