Research Support position - on processing of 4Dflow magnetic resonance images of the left atria for the validation of CFD and deep-learning based in silico simulations |
A research support position is available at the BCN-MedTech Research Unit (https://www.upf.edu/web/bcn-medtech/), Department of Information & Communication Technologies (DTIC) of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona, Spain, in close collaboration with IDIBAPS / Hospital Clínic de Barcelona and General Electric Medical Systems Spain, starting October 2019. It will be part of a recently granted Retos Investigación project (VIROLAAI) and co-funded by the European Union through “Fons Europeu de Desenvolupament Regional (FEDER)” Job description We propose a research assistant position directly associated to the project to investigate, develop, validate and translate computational tools to analyse and simulate blood flow patterns in the left atria. The work of will be fully complementary to other developments in VIROLAAI. The main goal will be to process haemodynamics imaging data, specially 4D-flow MRI, for the validation of simulations derived from classical Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and datadriven (e.g. deep learning) methods. The research will be divided into the following stages: 1) processing 4D-flow MRI data to derive haemodynamics indices of the LA/LAA in patients with atrial fibrillation; 2) comparison of DL-based blood flow simulations with classical CFD ones and with patient-specific 4D-flow MRI data. If realistic enough, DL-based simulations will be integrated with the virtual reality VIDAA interfaces for a fast user interaction and visualization of in silico simulations. This PhD will be in close collaboration with technicians from General Electric Medical Systems as well as clinicians from Hospital Clínic de Barcelona and Hospital Vall d’Hebron for the acquisition of 4D-flow MRI data and the processing of this data.
