HPC is becoming much more widely used in medical applications, for example in analysing medical images for diagnosis and EPCC have worked with a number of medical organisations, research and clinical, to apply advanced IT to healthcare problems…
3D Pathology (2001-2004)
The 3D Pathology project developed technology for quantitative diagnostic pathology and visualisation in 3D. One of the aims was to reveal the true shape of cells using 3D images from light microscopy. Better analysis of the images can assist diagnosis from cell characteristics.
The datasets generated when a 3D image of cell tissue is created are […]
AUTOSCREEN (2001-2003)
The AUTOSCREEN project was a collaboration between EPCC, a Danish medical imaging company (Visible Diagnostics), Imperial College of Science and several hospitals in Denmark, the Netherlands and Italy. The objective of the project was to demonstrate advanced medical imaging techniques to improve the process of analysing human tissue samples.
The automated system was aimed at improving […]
CAMRA (1997-1999)
EPCC in collaboration with three European hospitals developed the CAMRA (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Analysis) software based on MR imaging technology.
CAMRA enables the accurate and reproducible measurement of cardiac function which is essential to combating heart disease, one of the leading causes of death in western society.
The results from a clinical trial showed that CAMRA […]
MouseGrid (2001-2003)
3D OPT Microscopy Grid
The 3D OPT Microscopy Grid project was a collaboration between EPCC/NeSC and the MRC Human Genetics Unit to demonstrate the benefits of Grid technologies to biological research.
Modern biological research is data intensive and relies on an efficient informatics infrastructure. Research on the genetic control of embryo development involves large volume image data […]
ODD-Genes (2003)
OGSA-DAI Demo for Genetics
This project has demonstrated how Grid technologies can be used to enable true e-Science - discoveries that would not otherwise have been achieved without this infrastructure in place.
Professor Peter Ghazal, Director, GTI.
Funded under the UK eScience Programme, this project built upon the results of two others, the Open Grid Services Architecture Data […]
