News

My discrete registration approach deeds (see software) has won the first place in a comprehensive abdominal registration comparison against NiftyReg, ANTS SyN, IRTK and FSL. The paper describing the results is entitled "Evaluation of Six Registration Methods for the Human Abdomen on Clinically Acquired CT" (by Z Xu, C Lee, MP Heinrich, M Modat, D Rueckert, Ourselin S, R Abramson, and B Landman) at IEEE TBME. Details on the parameter settings for deeds can be found in the following short paper (pdf) and presentation (talk).

I have won the British Machine Vision Association and Society for Pattern Recognition (BMVA) Sullivan Thesis Prize 2014 for the best UK PhD thesis in Computer Vision. More details can be found at: http://www.bmva.org/_media/bmva-news-2014-09.pdf

About me

In August 2013, I finished my D.Phil. (Ph.D.) at the University of Oxford. I used to work at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering together with Julia Schnabel, Mark Jenkinson and Sir Michael Brady. My thesis was entitled: "Deformable Lung Registration for Pulmonary Image Analysis of MRI and CT scans".

In March 2019, I have been promoted to the position of associate professor at the Institute of Medical Informatics (IMI), at the University of Luebeck. In my group of 8 researcher, we work on medical deep learning, e.g. with application to image registration and motion compensation, deep learning based segmentation, probabilistic methods, self-supervised learning and many other useful things.

bodtener uferLuebeck is just 20 min. away from the Baltic Sea.

My main research focus lies in the development of deep learning and deformable image registration. During the last years, I mainly worked on CT and MRI registration and segmentation, but I am also very interested in multi-modal image learning. In my work, I always aim to develop methods that are computational very efficient and also widely applicable. Previously, I developed novel descriptor-based image representations, which can improve the robustness and accuracy of a large variety of medical image registration tasks. Further, I developed discrete optimisation strategies, which can greatly reduce the time needed for deformable image registration to less than a minute, making the software useful for time-sensitive applications and large datasets.


If you would like to use any of the code I developed for my previous publications, are interested in collaborating on a related medical image analysis project or are looking for a supervisor for a student project (B.Sc./M.Sc.), please don't hesitate to contact me.
