10 Research Center for Medical Imaging Prof. Isaac Leichter and Dr. Talya Yeshua The center applies computerized processing of medical images, obtained by various imaging techniques, for the early diagnosis of medical pathologies. All studies are performed in collaboration with physicians in medical centers. The following are examples of research topics conducted in the Center: Urology - Diagnosis of partial obstruction of the upper urinary tract by computerized processing fluoroscopic images of the kidney. Orthopedics - Assessing bone strength and the risk of osteoporotic fractures by processing digital radiographs of the proximal femur. Hematology - Diagnosis of in-stent restenosis and calculating the obstruction severity by spectral analysis of CT images obtained by Dual Energy CT devices Neurology - Accurate separation of gray matter and white matter tissues in the brain for the early diagnosis of stroke by spectral analysis of CT images at different energies, obtained by Spectral-Detector CT. Mammography – Automatic calculation of breast composition, to assess the risk of malignant tumors. Dentistry – Developing a deep learning algorithm for the detection and 3D segmentation of maxillofacial bone lesions in Conical Beam CT (CBCT) of various protocols. Airways radiology – Automatic estimation of volume and airflow in the upper respiratory tract in children using Computerized Tomography (CT) scans. Urology - Automatic 3D kidney reconstruction in Multi-phase Urology CT (CTU) using various approaches for segmenting the kidney and the renal pelvis. Urology- Diagnosing renal obstruction by automatic analysis of changes in contrast material concentration in various CT urographic phases
