Robust detection of masses in digitized mammograms The major goal of this project is to develop and evaluate a robust CAD method for mass detection in digitized mammograms. The method will include image standardization, adaptive, and multi-mode processing, and hybrid classification for improved and robust segmentation, and classification of breast tumors. Mammography Imaging Screening Trial (DMIST) of the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN - 6652) This is a multisite clinical trial. The goal of the project is to collect a large number of digital and corresponding screen/film mammograms to compare the two imaging modalities. Evaluation of flat panel displays for digital mammography. The goal of this project was to characterize and evaluate two new flat-panel, high-resolution monitors relative to standard CRTs for primary diagnosis of digitized and digital mammograms. Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Mammography Consultant to Moffitt Cancer Center & Wollin Ventures, Inc. The major goal of this project is to implement, test, and evaluate the development of a new technique for breast cancer imaging that incorporates electrical impedance principles in MRI. Computerized Analysis and Detection of Missed Cancer in Screening Mammogram The goals of this project are to perform an analysis of the missed cancer cases in screening mammography, and develop new CAD algorithms for the detection and diagnosis of early breast cancer signs to significantly reduce perception errors. Pre-clinical and clinical evaluation of high resolution, mobile gamma camera and positron imaging devices Co-Investigator (PI: David Gilland - UF; PI Subcontract: Claudia G. Berman - USF) The goal of this project is to design, build and evaluate a compact and mobile gamma and positron imaging camera for the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer and heart disease. NIH/NCI-Mentored Quantitative Research Career Award Co-Mentor (PI: Anke Meyer-Baese – FSU) The major goal of this project is the development of computer algorithms for breast MRI. It is a career transition award for Dr. Meyer-Baese. I am co-mentor to Dr. Meyer-Baese for this work.
