Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (ITACA)
Medical Image Processing
ITACA focuses on the analysis and modeling of various human pathologies through advanced methods like filtering, inhomogeneity correction, super-resolution, registration, and segmentation.
By employing these techniques, the institute aims to enhance the accuracy and precision of medical image interpretation, facilitating early disease detection, disease progression monitoring, and treatment efficacy assessment.
Leveraging an interdisciplinary approach that integrates engineering, computer science, and medicine, ITACA collaborates closely with healthcare professionals to address specific clinical needs and develop innovative solutions that advance medical diagnosis and treatment.
Through its research, ITACA seeks to push the boundaries of medical imaging technology, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
