Title of the research project
Automated extraction pipelines in medical imaging
Description

The objective of this project is to extract a set of relevant data from the files produced by medical imaging devices.

The process consists of building ETL (extract-transform-load) pipelines to make the data consumable for analysis and visualization. An example of analysis consists in observing the trend in dose administered to patients according to the establishment, protocol or device used, in order to possibly identify non-standard practices.

The data extracted could also guide practice by making it possible to assess the relevance of certain studies, and thus to optimize resources in the health network.

Effect of oxygen pressure in cancerous tissue cells on radiotherapy treatments

Student member : Corinne Chouinard

Radiotherapy treatments currently used in the clinical field are rarely modified. They generally consist of a global therapy of 50 grays, fractionated in five treatments of two grays every week for five weeks.
Thus, it could be worthwhile to develop a numeric tool, based on mathematical models found in the literature, in order to compare different types of treatment without having to test them on real tissues. Several parameters are known to alter the tissue response after irradiation including oxygen
