NIH-BISTI Center for Grid-Enabled Medical Image Analysis (GEMIAC)

This site provides an overview of the current activities of the Center. In addition to further synopses of our research, future updates to this site will highlight services the Center offers, outline our software and provide downloads, and allow access to a number of resources, including teaching and research materials.

The Center is funded by a generous planning grant (EB000591-02 (NIBIB P20)) from The National Institutes of Health Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative (NIH-BISTI). Joel Saltz (BMI) overall PI and center director. Jay Zweier (Davis Heart & Lung), Michael Knopp (Radiology), and Joel Saltz, project PIs.

Current Activities

Ongoing Seminars on Medical Imaging

This interdisciplinary seminar series is held every academic quarter. Weekly presentations focus on medical image acquisition, processing, and the management of imaging data. The series draws speakers from the Medical Center, OSU, MBI, and OSC, fostering knowledge sharing and collaboration. Graduate Students can receive course credit for attending and presenting.

2005 Comprehensive Medical Imaging Workshop

The College of Medicine, College of Engineering, Ohio Supercomputer Center and the Participants in NIH funded grant, "The Center for Grid-Enabled Medical Image Analysis" through the OSU Department of Biomedical Informatics are pleased to present the:

2005 Comprehensive Medical Imaging Workshop
February 16th, 2005, 9:00 AM-3:00 PM
The Blackwell
2110 Tuttle Park Place

See the full agenda and downloadable presentations and posters.

Specific Aims of GEMIAC

The three overarching goals of the Grid-Enabled Image Analysis Center are:

1. To create the interdisciplinary synergies necessary to synthesize the diverse sorts of data generated by imaging technologies.
2. To develop computational methods to analyze this data in order to aid diagnosis and elucidation of disease mechanisms.
3. To facilitate the inter- and cross-disciplinary training of computing, medical, and engineering professionals.

General Information About the Center

To accomplish aim one, above, we have expanded participation beyond an initial core group of personnel to include a multidisciplinary research group, which currently consists of 33 members, including faculty, research programmers, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate students.

The members of this working group are drawn from computer science, electrical engineering, the Mathematical Biosciences Institute, the OSU College of Medicine (including the Comprehensive Cancer Center, Cardiology, and Radiology, Neurology and Biomedical Informatics), the OSU Medical Center and the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC). The group meets biweekly, with the first portion of the meeting dedicated to organizational matters and the remainder of the meeting devoted to presentations and discussions of topics of interest/current research of the group members.
