Laboratory for Advanced BioMedical Imaging

Center for AI in Medical Imaging Research

The goal of our research is to advance our understanding of diseases using advanced imaging methods combined with artificial intelligence technology. Our laboratory has two main research focus: 1) Development of machine learning/deep learning-based methods for application to clinical data, including medical imaging and EMR (electronic medical record), 2) Development of new imaging techniques and imaging biomarkers using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
