Andreas Keil

Welcome!

From May 2005 to May 2010 I was a PhD student of Prof. Dr. Nassir Navab in his Group for Computer Aided Medical Procedures & Augmented Reality at the Department for Computer Science, TU Munich. From June 2010 to September 2012 I was with Prof. Rebecca Fahrig, PhD and her group in the Radiological Sciences Lab at Stanford University. Currently, I am with NVIDIA, helping our customers to be innovation leaders in medical and life sciences using accelerated computing and AI.

Research Interests (ordered by decreasing importance / up-to-date-ness)

• Structured reporting for AI in diagnosis
• 3D histology / histology reconstruction (including registration, segmentation, and analysis).
• Dual-energy cone-beam CT (esp. for metal artifact reduction in radiotherapy treatment planning).
• Iterative reconstruction methods adapted to specific problems and applications.
• 4D reconstruction of coronary vessels in rotational angiography
• Reducing truncation artifacts in cone-beam reconstruction
• Advanced segmentation (level sets, adaptive methods, vessel enhancement)
• MR-based tissue classification for carotid artery stenosis classification
• MR segmentation for SAR optimization and attenuation correction in PET
