Islamabad A symposium showcasing research on medical imaging technology, conducted by undergraduate students of the Medical Image Processing Research Group (MIPRG), a component of the Electrical Engineering Department of Comsats Institute of Information Technology, was held in the seminar hall at CIIT Islamabad campus here on Tuesday. The cutting-edge research, normally expected from PhD level students, focuses on finding mechanisms to reduce the time required for a typical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan from 45 minutes to five or six minutes, without loss in quality. Eleven CIIT undergraduate students had also presented their research in Edinburgh earlier this month in the 32nd Annual Scientific Meeting of European Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology(1st-3rd October 2015). Dr. Hammad Omer, Head of the Medical Image Processing Research Group at CIIT, provided an overview of the technological advances in the field of MRI and explained how the students’ research goal was optimised for an efficient image reconstruction in MRI.
