In particular, we will develop novel methods for tissue segmentation of cerebrum, subcortical structures and cerebellum, parcellation, multimodal measurements and early diagnosis, for large scale multi-center datasets. Finally, we will release our developed tools, along with all our processed data, to NDAR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Li Wang, PhD, Associate Professor of Radiology in the UNC Image Analysis Group (BRIC).
