Please join us at the fifth FAANA webinar on Sunday, September 29th at 12 pm Eastern Time (9 pm Pakistan Time). Our guest speaker is Dr. Arish Qazi, a graduate of FAST Islamabad, 99 batch.

Medical imaging has revolutionized clinical decision making. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and other imaging modalities have enabled clinicians to non-invasively and reliably visualize internal organs, and provide important information about the physiological and pathophysiological changes. This has led to early diagnosis and monitoring, thus enabling a significant improvement in therapeutic output. The increasing amount of medical devices has led to dramatic increases in size and complexity of imaging data. Therefore, computer-aided analysis and processing of medical images has emerged as a vital component of bio-medical research and clinical practice.
This talk will give a brief introduction to the field of medical imaging, followed by examples of applications developed in both academic and industrial settings.​

About the speaker:
