About me:

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, since July 2013 under the joint guidance of Prof. Jayanta Mukhopadhyay and Prof. Partha Pratim Das. My research interests are in the areas of Computer Vision,Medical Image Processing and Pattern Recognition.

Research

Lung Tumor Volume estimation on imaging modalities is required to assess the extent of the tumor for diagnosis. Adaptive Radiation Therapy(ART) aims at using serial on treatment ConeBeam Computer Tomography(CBCT) scans for accurate estimation of the Planning Target Volume(PTV) after taking patient movement, tumor growth, deformations with respect to organs into account. Our work aims at minimizing the PTV to allow radiologists to give more focused radiation treatment thereby reducing the chance of tumor regrowth and also reducing side effects of radiation. We want to build novel techniques in lung tumor segmentation for understanding tumor growth, decay and treatment response. We work in the areas of Medical Image Segmentation, Image Registration, Shape modelling and statistical analysis.
