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 …
