This CRC program focuses on the development of advanced computational methods for real time ultrasound (US) image processing with applications in computer-assisted therapy and cancer diagnosis. During therapy procedures, by registering the anatomy of the patient to the therapy plan, this research will enable real time, safe, continuous monitoring of the anatomy, currently only possible using ionizing radiation. The research will primarily focus on spine procedures. The research program will also develop new methods for cancer diagnosis by correlating features extracted from a time-series of US signals with the existence of cancer using advanced pattern recognition techniques. The research will be groundbreaking: it will reduce the need for biopsy by enabling accurate US-based diagnosis. This will provide more effective patient treatment, and reduce the economic burden on the healthcare system. HQP trained in this program will learn to apply their technical knowledge to high-impact medical problems with practical implications.

该CRC计划的重点是开发用于实时超声（US）图像处理的高级计算方法，并在计算机辅助治疗和癌症诊断中应用。在治疗过程中，通过将患者的解剖结构注册到治疗计划中，这项研究将实时，安全，连续监测解剖结构，目前只能使用电离辐射。该研究将主要关注脊柱程序。该研究计划还将通过将美国信号的时间序列提取的特征与使用先进的模式识别技术相关的癌症来开发癌症诊断的新方法。这项研究将是开创性的：通过实现基于美国的诊断，它将减少对活检的需求。这将提供更有效的患者治疗，并减轻医疗保健系统的经济负担。在该计划中培训的HQP将学会将其技术知识应用于具有实际影响的高影响医学问题。
