Active Vision in Ultrasound Medical Imaging
Lead Research Organisation:
Imperial College London
Department Name: Computing
Abstract
The proposed project focuses on portable ultrasound scanners which aim to
be marketed to expert and amateur operators alike and send the images acquired
to expert medical practitioners for diagnosis. Thus the need arises for guiding the
operator to the correct point of view that will be necessary for accurate automatic
3D anatomy reconstruction in addition to helping physicians in making a better
diagnosis.

| Description | The purpose of this project is to help computer systems be able to navigate through and reason about the human body and its pathologies using medical image volumes. Medical images could include MRI, CT-Scans, Ultrasounds. We have shown that the knowledge of anatomy and physics aid computer agents perform the above mentioned actions more accurately |
| Exploitation Route | Future researchers could expand on this work by implementing the outcomes of this project to real life scenarios in medical practice. |
