Recent research projects:
-
Termogram Analysis
-
This research aims to extract diagnoses of breast diseases based on the asymmetric distribution of the temperature checked on the termograms. The images used in the tests were provided by the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Pernambuco.
-
Radiology Imaging
-
This project involves the development softwares for analysis of Radiology images using computer vision techniques for the determination of tumors types, relevant to the diagnosis of breast cancer.
-
Analyze of Laryngoscope Images
-
This research tries to aid larynx exams, for the detection of important aspects related with the larynx, the cartilaginous structure at the upper part of the trachea, or the vocal cords.
-
Digital Radiology Database
-
Department of Radiology, Antonio Pedro Hospital, IRSA-Institute of Radiology, Dr. Alberto Domingues Vianna, have collaborated given the images used for breast cancer research.
