There will be a CIM-REPARTI Seminar DATE: Tuesday September 8, 2009 TIME: 11am to noon PLACE: McConnell Engineering Building, Room 603 Speaker: Hassan Rivez, PhD candidate, Johns Hopkins University Title: Ultrasonic Guidance and Visualization of Medical Operations Abstract: Ultrasound imaging is a fully non-invasive technique for imaging human anatomy. After plane film x-ray systems, it is the most widely used medical imaging system in the world. As a real-time, inexpensive and portable medical imaging modality, its application is growing rapidly as a guidance and visualization tool for medical operations. In this talk we present novel techniques for processing ultrasound images and exploit them in medical applications. First, we propose algorithms and applications for ultrasound elasticity imaging. Ultrasound elasticity imaging involves the computation of the spatial variation of the elastic modulus of tissue and is an emerging medical imaging method with medical applications such as tumor detection. We will focus on static elasticity imaging, a well known technique that applies quasi-static compression of tissue and simultaneously images it with ultrasound. Through analysis of the ultrasound images, a tissue displacement map can be obtained which is utilized for creating an image of tissue mechanical properties. We validate our algorithms using simulation, tissue mimicking phantoms and ex-vivo experiments. We show the successful application of our technology in patient trials for targeting and visualization of liver ablation surgery and in guiding breast radiation therapy. Second, we propose novel techniques for image-based sensorless freehand 3D ultrasound imaging. Freehand 3D ultrasound involves generating 3D ultrasound volumes from 2D ultrasound images. It is inexpensive, works with the existing 2D probes, allows arbitrary 3D volume acquisition, and has applications in both medical diagnosis and guidance. Sensorless freehand 3D ultrasound requires tissue classification, probe calibration and image correlation which will be discussed in this talk. And finally as a future avenue, we show how these two techniques can be combined to provide 3D ultrasound and 3D elasticity images from conventional 2D probes with no additional hardware. -- Biography: Hassan Rivaz is a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the Johns Hopkins University. He has been working towards his PhD since 2006 at the Computer Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology ERC-CISST under Prof. Gregory Hager and Prof. Gabor Fichtinger. His research is focused on medical ultrasound imaging for diagnosis and surgical planning. He is the Principal Investigator of a six-figure pre-doctoral award from the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program. He is also working on ultrasound guidance of liver ablation therapy, which is funded by the Advanced Simulation Fellowship from the Link Foundation.

Dr. Tessier Lavigne's lecture will be of interest to students and scholars of science as well as to an educated, non-expert audience. A graduate of McGill, Dr. Tessier-Lavigne was professor at Stanford University before joining the biotech firm Genentech in 2003. With his research, he answered a question that stumped scientists for more than a century by discovering netrins, the chemicals that guide axons to their targets. His lecture will be an engaging presentation on neurons and brain development. The Beatty Lecture, McGill's most prestigious public lecture, is offered annually. This year the lecture is delivered by world renowned neuroscientist Dr Tessier-Lavigne in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital. All are welcome to attend. Tickets are free and may be reserved by calling Pina at 514-398-8288 or online at www.alumni.mcgill.ca/events/homecoming Tickets will also be offered at the door if space is available.

The human visual system is exclusively tuned to information about social properties (intentions, dispositions, and emotions) conveyed by human body motion. Most recent imaging and lesion findings point to the existence of distributed brain networks that engaged in revealing of social attributes through body dynamics. The temporal cortex, and, in particular, the STS, social brain region, is often reported to substantially contribute to body motion processing. The findings, however, are restricted to localization of cortical regions involved in biological motion processing, and have been substantially extended by our MEG findings providing for high temporal resolution. I will present psychophysical and MEG data obtained in healthy adults and neurological patients with early periventricular brain lesions. Taken together, the findings suggest that processing of body motion engages a specific subcortical-cortical neural circuitry. By using clinical models of abnormal development, namely, patients with early periventricular lesions and autistic spectrum disorders (Pavlova et al, Brain 2003; Annals of Neurology, 2006; Cerebral Cortex, 2005; Neuropsychologia, 2006; Neuroimage, 2007; Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2008, 2009), I will argue that the structural and functional brain connectivity is of immense importance for proper functioning of the networks underpinning visual social cognition. I will also focus on current research perspectives in the field such as gender effects in social cognition.

As you can see below, the Fall 2009 Program of the BIC Lecture Series will feature a number of introductory presentations to get you up to speed on the basics of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET) and transmagnetic stimulation (TMS), as well as how these are used to study the brain and its functions. Please join us for our third lecture of the season, which will be held on Monday, October the 5th, at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpr? Communications Centre of the MNI (3801 University Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4). This lecture will be given by Dr. Ives Levesque ( http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/users/ives/Ives%20Levesque%20at%20the%20MNI%20BIC.html), who will be presenting an introduction to the basics of MRI.
