Towards a clinical pathway for computational planning of operative stabilization of fractured bones<\/strong><\/h5>

Operative treatment of broken bones involves their mechanical stabilization using a metallic implant. The primary goal of operative stabilization (i.e. osteosynthesis) is to provide the bone with sufficient mechanical stability to allow functional rehabilitation of the patient. The art of operative fracture care involves choosing the adequate implant and applying the appropriate techniques to reach the goal of sufficient mechanical stabilization. However, an accurate estimation of the implant\u2019s load-bearing capacity is often challenging because of complex loading scenarios and difficult to predict the interaction between bone and metallic implant. \u00a0Modern computer technology, including finite element analysis, has shown to be capable of accurately calculating the mechanical performance of a fractured bone stabilized with a metallic implant. Yet, clinical reality has not yet seen the use of this technique. This presentation will demonstrate how the mechanical performance of fracture stabilization can be computed and how the existing barriers to translate this technology into the clinical application can be overcome.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Professor Merryn Tawhai is the Director of New Zealand\u2019s national Medical Technologies Centre of Research Excellence and Deputy Director of the Auckland Bioengineering Institute at the University of Auckland. She has led efforts to develop a quantitative description of lung anatomy and accompanying multi-scale models that bring together cell function, tissue mechanics, and transport and exchange processes in anatomically-detailed models of the lung. Her research links patient-specific lung structure to function for simulation of ventilation distribution, perfusion distribution, and gas exchange; as well as simulation of a range of pulmonary function tests. Professor Tawhai is a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand Te Ap\u0101rangi (RSNZ), the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, the International Academy of Medical and Biological Engineering. She was awarded the 2016 MacDiarmid Medal by the RSNZ for the potential impact of her research on human health.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Linking imaging-based lung structure to patient respiratory system function using biophysically-based models<\/h5>

There are currently very few methods for quantitative assessment of the lung to assist with planning surgical or other interventions. Current tools focus on image analysis, usually based on densitometry or texture analysis. No tools are currently available for patient-specific prediction of respiratory system function post-treatment. We are developing an imaging-, statistical-, and biophysically-based lung model to predict patient-specific response to various interventions and treatments. This digital lung spans from the nasal and oral airways to the deepest smallest parts of the lung, and connects to sophisticated models of the pulmonary circulation, respiratory and other gas exchange, and interacts with models of respiratory control. The model incorporates imaging and lung function data from healthy subjects aged 20-90 years of age to appropriately represent structure-function relationships over the full adult lifespan. The ultimate goal is to provide a comprehensive tool that can be used to predictively test interventional approaches and therapies (both well in advance and at the bedside), provide mechanistic insight into imaging-based biomarkers, and to develop and optimise new and current treatments to the individual patient.<\/p>

Data-driven modelling of neurodegeneration<\/h5>

Neurodegeneration will undoubtedly become a major challenge in medicine and public health because of demographic changes worldwide. More than 45 million people are living with dementia today and this number is expected to triple by 2050. Recent studies have reinforced the hypothesis that the prion paradigm, the templated growth and spreading of misfolded proteins, could help explain the progression of a variety of neurodegenerative disorders. However, our current understanding of prion-like growth and spreading is rather empirical and the precise propagation dynamics of misfolded protein within the living brain remain poorly understood. Here we show that a physics-based reaction-diffusion model can explain the growth and spreading of misfolded protein in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders. We integrate the classical Fisher-Kolmogorov equation for population dynamics into a brain network model, which we represent through a connectivity-weighted Laplacian graph created from 418 human brain images. To test the hypothesis that misfolded proteins propagate preferably along neuronal connections, we follow 46 subjects for three years and compare their positron emission tomography scans against brain network models of intracellular and extracellular spreading. For each subject, we identify a personalized set of model parameters that characterizes the individual progression of misfolded tau protein. We show that intracellular spreading along neuronal connections explains the propagation dynamics of Alzheimer’s disease better than extracellular spreading. Our results suggest that misfolded proteins in neurodegenerative disorders grow and spread according to a universal law that follows the basic physical principles of nonlinear reaction and anisotropic diffusion. A more quantitative understanding of the timeline of neurodegeneration could help detect non-clinical symptoms at an earlier stage and make informed predictions about the timeline of neurodegeneration on an individual personalized basis.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How AI is changing the future of radiology<\/h5>

This talk will explain how AI is changing the future of radiology. In particular, I will examine the impact of deep learning on the entire medical imaging pipeline: First, I will introduce a framework for reconstructing MR images from undersampled data using a deep cascade of convolutional neural networks to accelerate the data acquisition process. We show that such a method can outperforms state-of-the-art compressed sensing approaches, both in terms of image quality and reconstruction speed. In addition, we will present how deep learning can be used for image enhancement (e.g. super-resolution) and image quantification (e.g. image segmentation). Finally, we will show examples of how deep learning can be used for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
