Active research projects

Estimation of Flow Parameters from X-ray Data

Recognizing stenosis in angiographic images is a quite difficult task. Most methods are only 2D so that overlapping, foreshortening or a bad perspective of the view causes a false diagnoses. The aim of this project is to reconstruct the blood flow from 3D X-ray data to get a realistic and patient specific computer fluid dynamic simulation of the blood flow. With this any type of images concerning blood flow can be simulated. Also the perspective of these images can be chosen by the user without taking X-ray images from the patient.

Reconstruction and Registration of Histology and Phase Contrast Images for Clinical Validation of Imaging Modalities

Before its introduction into the hospital, a new imaging modality has to be validated. In other words, appearing structures need to be correlated to the imaged tissues. Such a cross validation is only meaningful when performed against the gold standard which is histology. Currently, cross validation is performed by qualitative comparison of 3D datasets to 2D histology slices. Since the acquisition of a consistent 3D histology volume is a challenging task, its comparison to the corresponding dataset always remained qualitative.

The classic histology procedure can be divided in four steps: pre processing, cutting, post processing and imaging of the tissues. In the first step, the sample is chemically processed to preserve the tissues and is then embedded in a paraffin block. By using a microtome, it is cut in very thin slices, and put on a glass slide. During post processing the sample is stained to enhance the structures of interest. The imaging is performed with a camera mounted in a microscope, or with a dedicated scanner. Several difficulties inherent to this process can have a dramatic influence on the quality of the reconstructed histology volume. For instance, since the cutting process is done manually, problems like flipping, bending or ripping of the slides may happen. If the knife starts to wear off, some banding will appear over the slices. Moreover, a few slices could be missing. Finally since the staining color is time dependent, variation in the color of the slices can occur.

In this project, we propose to improve the histology procedure and to develop methods towards a consistent reconstruction of 3D histology volumes.
