AI for Medical Imaging and Virtual Human Twins

Welcome to the AI for Medical Imaging and Research Group. We specialize in leveraging artificial intelligence to advance medical research and improve patient care in four critical areas: stroke, neurological and psychological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and oncology. Our interdisciplinary team integrates expertise in AI, medical imaging, and clinical practices to develop innovative solutions that enhance diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. By focusing on these key health challenges, we aim to transform healthcare delivery and contribute to the development of cutting-edge medical technologies.

Focus

Value of Automatically Derived Full Thrombus Characteristics

Value of Automatically Derived Full Thrombus Characteristics investigates the relationship between detailed thrombus characteristics and clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patients, finding significant correlations between higher thrombus perviousness and better functional outcomes, as well as between lower thrombus volume and improved technical success and reperfusion rates.

Thrombus Composition and Its Clinical Significance

Thrombus Composition and Its Clinical Significance aims to analyze the composition of thrombi and its clinical significance, linking specific thrombus characteristics to treatment outcomes and guiding more effective intervention strategies.

Investigating Predictors of Thrombectomy Success

Investigating Predictors of Thrombectomy Success to identifies key predictors that influence the success rates of thrombectomy procedures, providing insights into factors that can enhance the efficacy of stroke interventions.

Development and evaluation of AI models

Development and evaluation of AI models to assess vascular involvement and classify tumor resectability in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using CT scans. We aim to segmentsthe tumor and surrounding vasculature, to quantify vascular involvement, and classifies resectability based on established criteria.

Spatio-temporal physics-informed learning: A novel approach to CT perfusion analysis in acute ischemic stroke

Work on “Spatio-temporal physics-informed learning: A novel approach to CT perfusion analysis in acute ischemic stroke” which is a new method for analyzing CT perfusion data using the Spatio-temporal Perfusion Physics-Informed Neural Network (SPPINN). This approach accurately estimates cerebral perfusion parameters even with high noise levels and differentiates between healthy and infarcted tissue, showing high correspondence with reference standard infarct core segmentations.

Treatment Response Prediction in Major Depressive Disorder Using Multimodal MRI and Clinical Data

Treatment Response Prediction in Major Depressive Disorder Using Multimodal MRI and Clinical Data to evaluate a multimodal machine learning approaches to predict early response to sertraline in patients with major depressive disorder. Our work show that integrating MRI and clinical data enhances prediction accuracy, with perfusion imaging being particularly contributive, indicating that such models can potentially individualize and improve treatment planning.
