Enhanced Use of MRI Images Dr. Ardeshir Goshtasby Sponsors: ITRI, Kettering Medical Center The use and scope of medical diagnostic imaging has progressed to the point where more effective ways are needed to fully exploit the value of advanced imaging products. Dr. Goshtasby is developing a method for registering multimodal volume images. The method is currently optimized to register brain images, but it can be adjusted to register whole-body images. In fact, it has been tested with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomographic (PET) images with very encouraging results. The ultimate goal is to provide more effective machine assisted diagnostics and, in some cases, treatment.
