PhD positions available

Project title:     Automatic Tissue and Multiple Sclerosis Lesion
Identification in Medical Images

The team:       Prof. Tal Arbel, Dept. of Electrical and Computer
Engineering 
Prof. Louis Collins, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering
Dr. Doug Arnold, Dept. of Neurology and Neurosurgery, NeuroRx

We are pleased to announce the opening of 5 PhD positions in the
research groups of Prof. Tal Arbel and Prof. Louis Collins, and in
collaboration with Prof. Doug Arnold and NeuroRx, starting immediately.
The PhD projects will involve the development of automatic techniques to
accurately identify tissues and lesions in medical images (e.g. MRI)
from patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). These exciting,
interdisciplinary projects will involve theoretical development at both
the Centre for Intelligent Machines (CIM), McGill University under the
supervision of Prof. Tal Arbel, and at the Montreal Neurological
Institute (MNI), under the supervision of Prof. Louis Collins and
through collaboration with Dr. Arnold, neurologist at the MNI with an
extensive expertise in MS.  Validation and testing on real patient data
through an industrial partner, NeuroRx, which has a database of over
15,000 image volumes of patients with MS.
