Medical Imaging Technologies research project
Exploring reliable imaging workflows through prototyping, controlled measurement and cross-disciplinary research.
Project overview
This project explores reliable imaging workflows through a combination of engineering design, measurement and iterative evaluation. It connects a focused technical question with the wider requirements of biomedical research: reliable evidence, practical systems and clear communication across disciplines.
Acquisition and reconstruction
The project examines how measurement quality and reconstruction choices affect an image and the quantities derived from it. Controlled test objects and simulated data provide a way to study individual sources of variation. Processing steps are recorded so that a comparison can be repeated and the effect of each change understood.
Evaluation
The evaluation compares image quality, measurement consistency and sensitivity to changing acquisition conditions. Particular attention is paid to uncertainty and to situations where an apparently improved image could obscure a limitation. The aim is a transparent workflow that supports further research rather than an isolated demonstration.
Research collaboration
The work brings together expertise in device design, experimental methods and data analysis. Collaboration with people from complementary disciplines helps identify useful comparisons, challenge assumptions and shape the next experiment. Project discussions focus on what has been learned, what remains uncertain and which questions should guide the next stage.
