Medical Data Analysis Projects

The Computer Research and Applications Group (CIC-3) at Los Alamos National Laboratory is currently working on several projects in the area of medical data analysis. The majority of these projects involve automated techniques for working with digital imagery (such as CT and MRI data). Other projects are concerned with methods for extracting important information from large databases containing free-text documents.

Several projects listed here are collaborations with the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine in Denver, Colorado.

Medical Image Analysis Projects:

Content-Based Retrieval of Pulmonary CT Imagery

Quantitative Radiology

• Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM)
• Scleroderma
• Asthma
• Tuberculosis

Medical Document Analysis Projects:

Retrieval of Free-Text Medical Records via N-gram Analysis

Integrated Medical Data Information Management:

The Medical Application for SUNRISE

Several of these projects are collaborations with John Newell, M.D. at the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine in Denver, Colorado. A partial list of projects outside of Los Alamos in the area of medical data analysis is also available.
