IMAGE ANALYSIS MODULE

图像采集、处理、分析和显示发挥着越来越重要的作用 在生物医学研究中发挥重要作用。我们的图像分析模块不断发展以应对不断变化的情况 技术以及我们集团不断扩大的需求。帮助我们的核心研究人员进行成像 根据需求，该模块执行三个相互关联的功能：（1）它作为核心教师访问的渠道 位于机构核心设施和我们的核心模块中的昂贵成像设备，(2) 它保持 核心模块中的图像采集仪器和计算机系统，以及（3）它有助于我们的眼睛和视力 研究人员在个人和协作研究中使用成像技术。第三个函数有两个 这些组件充分利用了模块工程师的卓越能力。他是 熟练使用成像设备及其软件，因此可以在各个方面为用户提供帮助 图像捕获、分析、操作和显示。此外，他有能力在硬件和 为不使用或修改现成设备的调查人员开发软件。后一个功能 在当前周期中添加到该模块中，以响应我们的调查员确定的不断增长的需求 集团，这促成了一位经验丰富的模块工程师的聘用。

Image acquisition, processing, analysis and display play an increasingly important role in biomedical research. Our Image Analysis Module has continuously evolved in response to everchanging technology and to the expanding needs of our group. To aid our Core investigators with their imaging needs, the Module performs three interrelated functions: (1) it serves as the conduit for Core faculty to access expensive imaging equipment located in institutional core facilities and in our Core Modules, (2) it maintains the image acquisition instruments and the computer systems in the Core Modules, and (3) it helps our eye and vision researchers use imaging technologies in their individual and collaborative research. The third function has two components that take advantage of the exceptional capabilities of the engineer who staffs the Module. He is proficient in the use of the imaging equipment and its software and therefore can assist users in all aspects of image capture, analysis, manipulation and display. Further, he is competent to assist with both hardware and software development for investigators who do not use or who modify off-the-shelf equipment. This latter function was added to the Module during this current cycle in response to a growing need identified by our investigator group, which precipitated the hiring of an experienced Module engineer.
