Shape Analysis in Medical Imaging
FY 2023-24
Summary
Shape analysis is fundamental to medical imaging. This research aims to explore
and exploit the role of geometry in the elaboration of shape-based biomarkers
for diseases affecting brain morphology. The specific objectives are to (i) develop
shape-based models to quantify multiscale variations of geometry and topology in
brain structures, (ii) develop statistical frameworks to combine heterogeneous
datasets with unlabeled neuroimaging data, and (iii) determine shape dynamics in
brain atrophy to identify a risk of neurodegeneration. These advances in shape
analysis will provide a new family of shape-based biomarkers, discovering much
smaller details of anatomy using largely unexplored medical imaging data.
