Projects Available for Carle Illinois College of Medicine Student Participation
A few example projects in my lab are: 1) development of machine learning approaches to segment anatomy from medical images. 2) development of pipelines to transform medical imaging data into virtual reality objects for education and presurgical planning. 3) application of new analysis methods for functional and anatomical imaging data. 4) examination of functional brain imaging data to identify impact of interventions.
Why I'm Motivated to be a HIP Faculty Member:
I strongly believe that the future of medicine lies at the intersection of engineering, biology, and medicine. Engineering will enable us to translate grand challenges in medicine into actionable problems and models. I am excited to be part of this visionary transformation of medicine and engineering.
Carle Illinois College of Medicine Related Research
Professor Sutton develops methods using MRI to non-invasively image brain physiology, function, and structure. Through integration of new image acquisition approaches, advanced image reconstruction algorithms, and optimized image analysis methods, Professor Sutton develops sensitive methods to image brain functional changes due to interventions and healthy aging. He is also interested in image analysis approaches to turn medical images into actionable 3D virtual reality objects.
