Computation of Imaging-Based Science

All visitors are welcome to join the next meeting of the Computation of Imaging-Based Science seminar. This week we learn about two very different research projects involving CT scanning, of the very old, and of the very small.

2:30: Michael Vannier: In joint work with Emily Teeter of the Oriental Institute we have been performing CT scans of Egyptian artifacts, including the mummy of Meresamun. CT scanning and visualization offers a unique ability to non-invasively investigate medical questions about the mummy, and material composition questions of hand-made artifacts.

4:15: Patrick LaRiviere: I will discuss problems related to high-throughput phenoytyping of zebrafish and other model organisms using microCT. I will review the basic physics of the acquisition process, the computational tools we are using to optimize the acquisition and the vast challenges we face in extracting features and phenotypic information from the enormous datasets that result.
