Developed a hybrid method of image segmentation by combining level sets and livewire to generate more accurate boundaries for noisy, inhomogeneous, and gapped boundaries.

National Institutes of Health - Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Bethesda, MD
Summer Intern
May 2005 - August 2006
Developed a semi-automatic segmentation method used by radiology technicians for the purpose of acquiring volumetric information of uterine leiomyomas. Developed software to concurrently register and visualize current anatomic pointer position in axial, coronal, and sagittal slices of MRI scans.
