Dr. McMillan presents at Practical Big Data Workshop

Dr. McMillan presented at the Practical Big Data Workshop at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on May 18th. The title of Dr. McMillan’s talk was “Can Machines be Trusted? Robustification of Deep Learning for Medical Imaging.” This work highlighted some of the work the MIMRTL group is doing towards the development of robust …

Research Presented at Midwest Machine Learning Symposium

MIMRTL research was presented at the 2023 Midwest Machine Learning Symposium (https://midwest-ml.org/2023). Contributions included poster presentations on CT synthesis from MR images (On The Effect of Training Database Size For MR-based Synthetic CT Generation In The Head by S. Iman Zare Estakhraji; Weijie Chen; Ali Pirasteh; Tyler Bradshaw; Alan McMillan) and convex optimization strategies to …

Congrats, 2023 Grads!

Congratulations to MIMRTL graduate students Sabeeka Khan (LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabeeka-khan/) and Nikhil Nagam (LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhil-nigam-31131b12a/). Both recently graduated with Masters’ degrees in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. We look forward to seeing the great things that you accomplish. Congrats to Sabeeka and Nikhil!

Congrats to Weijie Chen, MS on a successful PhD preliminary examination!

Congratulations to Weijie Chen on a successful preliminary examination! Weijie’s PhD thesis work in the MIMRTL group will develop efficient ensemble methods applied to medical imaging. His hypothesis is that such models will yield not only better performance for segmentation and synthesis applications, but also enable assessment of model uncertainty. The ability to assess a …

New Paper Published on Synthetic CT Generation. Quality over Quantity!

MIMRTL researchers and collaborators, led by S. Iman Zare Estakhraji, PhD recently published a paper that explored the use of unsupervised and supervised training methods to generate synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images from magnetic resonance (MR) images. The study employed a cycleGAN method with unpaired data sets for unsupervised training and several supervised models that …
