Research project proposals:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following proposals are related to collaborative project (NTU, Singapore Cognitive Neuroscience Lab and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) on developing a measurement system for change detection in brain images:

  1. Incorporating multi-echo and multi-spectral information for better brain skull stripping and bias field correction
  2. Detection, registration and analysis of vascular structures
  3. Localizing probabilistic brain atlases to Singapore aging population
  4. 3D Photoshop - facilitating post-automatic editing and review of 3D brain images
  5. Segmentation of lesions in brain images

On-going PhD projects:
