Department of Engineering
A position exists for a Research Associate in the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, to work on projects with Prof. Graham Treece in the Medical Imaging Group (https://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk) and also in collaboration the City University of Hong Kong who are funding this position.
With the continued growth in AI for fully automated detection from medical data, research into novel, problem-focused visualisation has received less attention. Humans are particularly good at seeing subtle details in images, but much medical data is 3D or 4D and this contains more information than can be presented in one image. Despite inheriting visualisation techniques from computer graphics (e.g. surface and volume rendering), most radiology is still based on looking at multiple slices through data, and this is what AI diagnostics are typically trained on.
This project proposes to investigate the careful design of medical visualisation particularly for 4D data in a way that makes it easier to explore the data. It is envisaged that this is equally as important as automated detection; arguably better since it keeps a human in the loop.
