Description |
MARS (Medipix All Resolution System) is a revolutionary diagnostic imaging modality developed by Universities of Otago and Canterbury, New Zealand in collaboration with CERN, Geneva. This talk will introduce the MARS imaging technology and its application in medical imaging. Medipix family of photon-counting detectors for x-ray detection will be described. The speaker will also present a K-edge hiding effect encountered in multi- energy CT using contrast pharmaceuticals and its influence on clinical K- edge imaging, followed by a multi-energy CT image denoising technique for photon starvation scenarios. The talk will conclude with the results from preclinical orthopaedic applications of MARS imaging. About Mr. Kishore Rajendran: Kishore Rajendran obtained his M.Sc (Eng.) degree in Advanced Medical Electronics (gold medalist) from Coventry University, UK in 2011, and B.E. Biomedical Engineering degree from Anna University, Chennai. He recently submitted his Ph.D. thesis titled ‘MARS spectral CT technology for orthopaedic applications’. He has 5 peer-reviewed publications, 4 conference proceedings, a patent and a text book chapter from his Ph.D. research. He received the R.H.T. Bates award from the Royal Society of New Zealand in 2015 for his interdisciplinary research. |
