Image-Guided Rejection of Kidney Tumours

RESEARCH INTERESTS

• Computer Graphics
• Computer Vision for Computer-Assisted Surgery
• Imaging and Processing techniques for Neurosurgery

MRI allows non-invasive diagnosis of abnormal structure in brain. DTI is a relative new technique to examine the diffusion activity within brain especially in the nerve fiber pathway. Fiber tracking, an extension of DTI, can be used to show the abnormal pathway in the vicinity of the lesion which is the target for the neurosurgery. By correlating the findings from these two techniques with the structure MRI findings, surgery can be performed with more confidence and higher accuracy.

 

KEY QUESTIONS

• Can we use DTI to delineate the optical pathway for epilepsy patients
  and how?
• Can we use DTI derived maps to improve intersubject correspondance for
  altas building?
• Can we use multivariate data analysis to improve seizure focus diagnosis
  using T1,T2 and DTI maps?
• Can we use intraoperative US or tracked stereo camera to update the
  brain shift during open skull surgery and how and how accurate they are?
