"Real-time Monitoring and Intra-procedure Analysis of Thermal Ablation Using Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography"
Date
Po-hung Wu will present his research on ablation monitoring, evaluation and treatment prediction by time-serial CT/CECT images. He will describe in-vivo experiments and temporal CT/CECT scanning to analyze iodine-material behavior during ablation, methods of enhanced visualization of ablation zone on serial low-dose CECT scanning, the development of an algorithm to automatically detect and segment ablation zones on serial abdominal CT/CECT scans, and the creation of a model to analyze and predict temporal growth of the ablation zone.

Speakers
Po-hung Wu received B.S and M.S degrees in Communication Engineering from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan in 2007 and 2008. He is currently a PHD candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison and a member in Tumor Ablation Lab, which is directed by Dr. Christopher L. Brace. His main research interest is to utilize image processing techniques to solve problems in biological and medical areas. Currently, he is working on CECT image processing and analysis for microwave ablation.
