Babak A. Ardekani, PhD

Research Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry

Summary

I develop algorithms for analyzing and processing brain images:

  • parallel computation with medical imaging applications
  • brain image registration (within and between subjects and imaging modalities)
  • measurement and characterization of water diffusion in the brain using diffusion-weighted imaging
  • applications of pattern recognition and machine learning to MRI image analysis
  • statistical image analysis
  • image segmentation
  • iterative image reconstruction
  • brain morphometry using MRI
