Student’s Poster Wins an Award at 2019 SPIE Medical Imaging Conference

Our two students, Shuyue (Frank) Guan and Nada Kamona, along with Professor Loew attended SPIE Medical Imaging Conference last week in San Diego, California (Feb 16th – Feb 21st). The conference is the host for leading researchers in image processing, physics, computer-aided diagnosis, perception, image-guided procedures, biomedical applications, ultrasound, informatics, radiology and digital pathology, along with a focus on fast emerging areas like deep learning, AI, and machine learning. Over 1,200 people attend this highly regarded conference on the latest medical imaging advances covered in over 1,000 presentations (for more information check here).

Frank presented his poster on using Generative Adversarial Networks and Transfer Learning for breast cancer detection by convolutional neural networks, winning the Honorable Mention Award for the Medical Imaging Conference. Nada presented an oral presentation for her summer internship project with the FDA, where she discussed her work on the reproducibility of CT-based texture feature quantification of simulated and 3D-printed trabecular bone, and the influence of noise and reconstruction kernel on the reproducibility of texture features.

Congratulations to our students on their accomplishments!
