Beyond the Patterns 20 - Julia Schnabel - Smart Medical Imaging – From Sensors to Information

Prof. Dr. Schnabel has been shaping the world of medical imaging like few other persons. It’s great pleasure to have her here in Erlangen for an invited talk! Abstract:  Medical imaging spans the entire process from acquisition, reconstruction, and quality control to image segmentation, classification, and interpretation. Recent years have increasingly seen the use of machine learning and deep learning architectures along the entire imaging pipeline, providing innovative end-to-end learning solutions that can operate directly on the imaging sensor during image acquisition, for online interpretation by the clinician.  In this talk I will focus on some recently developed “smart” medical imaging approaches applied to imaging problems in three major healthcare challenges: cancer, cardiovascular disease, and premature birth. I will specifically focus on physically and biologically realistic data augmentation, as well as real-time applications of our methods during scan-time, showing promise in image interpretatio
