Eranga Ukwatta, a postdoctoral Fellow in the lab of Natalia A. Trayanova, Murray B. Sachs Professor of Biomedical Engineering and the Institute for Computational Medicine, received first place for his poster at the 13th Imaging Network Ontario Symposium in London, Ontario, Canada.

Eranga’s research work is driven by the emerging need for robust image processing methodologies for patient specific analysis and modeling of cardiovascular structure and function from medical images. His presented research entitled “Image-based Personalized Analysis and Modeling of Cardiac Structure and Function: A Robust Method for Automatic Left-Ventricular Infarct Segmentation” was on development of an algorithm to segment infarct regions of a diseased heart from magnetic resonance imaging for personalized modeling of cardiac electrophysiology.

The Symposium was held on March 30 & 31, 2015. More information on the symposium can be found here. Click here for more about Imaging Network Ontario.

Congratulations Eranga!
