The Department of Information Technology, Centre for Image Analysis offers PhD Student in Computerised Image Analysis with focus on Medical Visualization at Uppsala University, Sweden

Study Subject(s): Computerized Image Analysis with focus on Medical Visualization
Course Level: PhD
Scholarship Provider: Uppsala University, Sweden
Scholarship can be taken at: Sweden

Eligibility:
The candidate should have a Master of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent, including mathematics and statistics. Experience of digital image analysis, computer graphics, and scientific visualization is desirable, as is experience of system development.

This position will be within the research program Image Analysis and Man-machine Interaction at the Centre for Image Analysis at the Department of Information Technology. The topic of the project involves segmentation and registration in medical volume images, namely CT images of the skull, with the aim to develop a system for cranio-maxillofacial surgery planning. In a current project at CBA, we have shows that in interaction with 3D objects, the sense of touch is an essential addition to our visual perception. Haptic devices can be used to facilitate interaction with 3D virtual objects. Pointing in 3D and grabbing, moving and turning objects is much more natural with a 6 degrees-of-freedom probe than using more conventional 2D interaction devices such as a mouse. The success of this project will come by developing and combining stereographic visualization, volume rendering, haptic rendering, as well as interactive segmentation andregistration algorithms.
