Integrated multi-level interpretation and its applications for intelligent multimodality biomedical image navigation, retrieval and tracking

皇家阿尔弗雷德王子医院的和128层正电子发射计算机断层扫描(PET-CT)设备是国内第一台。这些扫描仪，加上医用回旋加速器和放射化学设施，投资超过1300万澳元。该项目将解决在优化信息和系统的利用方面的紧迫问题，以向患者和转介临床医生提供更好的服务。这项研究将为澳大利亚的医疗成像基础设施和医疗保健提供增加相当大的价值；并促进更好地了解系统生物学、生理学和病理学的科学研究。研究成果将加强澳大利亚在生物医学信息技术研究和澳大利亚医学成像专业知识方面的领先地位。

The 64- and 128-slice positron emission tomography – computed tomography (PET-CT) devices at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital were the first in the country. These scanners, with the medical cyclotron and radiochemistry facilities, represent an investment of over A$13 million. This project will address pressing issues in optimising the utilisation of the information and systems to provide better service to patients and referring clinicians. This research will add considerable value to Australia's medical imaging infrastructure and healthcare delivery; and advance scientific research in better understanding of system biology, physiology and pathology. The research outcomes will strengthen Australia’s leading position in biomedical information technology research and Australian medical imaging expertise.
