Title

Image-Based Biomedical Modeling, Simulation, and Visualization

Abstract

Increasingly, biomedical researchers need to build functional computer models from images (MRI, CT, EM, etc.). The “pipeline” for building such computer models includes image analysis (segmentation, registration, filtering), geometric modeling (surface and volume mesh generation), large-scale simulation (parallel computing, GPUs), large-scale visualization and evaluation (uncertainty, error). In my presentation, I will present research challenges and software tools for image-based biomedical modeling, simulation and visualization and discuss their application for solving important research and clinical problems in neuroscience, cardiology, and genetics.
