Five School of Computing students will be going to Florida next winter to present the results of their research in Biomedical Computing. Vinyas Harish, Maggie Hess, Mark Schumacher, Kyle Sunderland, and Matt Lougheed, all of the PERK Lab, have had their papers accepted for presentation at the SPIE Medical Imaging Conference to be held in Orlando, February 21-26, 2015.
The SPIE Medical Imaging conference is one of the largest international conferences on medical imaging. The prestige of this conference is further demonstrated by the fact that each fully refereed 10-page accepted paper is published in the conference proceedings, and indexed on PubMed for the medical research community. “I am immensely proud of our undergraduates” said Dr. Gabor Fichtinger, Director of the Perk Lab.
The full authorship and title for each paper is as follows:
