U srijedu 21. svibnja 2014. godine u 10:00 sati u dvorani A101, prof. David Pokrajac s Delaware State University iz SAD-a, održat će predavanje pod naslovom:

Breast Tissue Simulation with Recursive Partitioning Algorithm

 

Abstract:

Computer models of breast anatomy have been used in preclinical validation of breast cancer imaging systems.  In this presentation we discuss a novel algorithm for simulation of breast tissue based on recursive partitioning of a 3D volume. The algorithm can provide breast models with resolution better than 25 micrometers in near-real time.

We provide description of the algorithm. In addition, we discuss mathematical basis for mechanisms of thickness control, accounting for partial volume effect (when a voxel contains multiple materials) and asymptotic computational complexity of the algorithm. We demonstrate experimental results on various features of the simulation method and experimental evidence on theoretical complexity bounds.

 

Presenter:

Dr. David Pokrajac is a full professor of Delaware State University, born in Sibenik, Croatia. He graduated in 1993 at the Faculty of Electronics in Nis with GPA 9.97, and obtained MS in Telecommunications. Starting 1997. He attended Washington State University and defended his PhD dissertation in spatial-temporal data mining at Temple_University in 2002. He is an author of numerous papers and book chapters and two patents. Part of this work has been performed during his sabbatical leave at University of Pennsylvania.
