Dr. Hassan Salehi at SPIE Photonics
West 2017.
Dr. Hassan S. Salehi, electrical and computer engineering faculty member at the
University of Hartford's College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture (CETA)
delivered a talk on his research findings at the SPIE Photonics West International Conference,
held in San Francisco, January 28-February 2, 2017.
At the talk, Dr. Salehi demonstrated
a study testing capabilities of a new feature-based classification algorithm
using image processing and machine learning techniques specifically
Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for early
detection of pathologic changes in tissues. As a result, this algorithm can
enable the clinicians to better understand the disease process and to detect
changes in an early stage, which would result in more successful treatment
outcome. Dr. Salehi’s talk was titled “Characterization of Human Oral
Tissues Based on Quantitative Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography Images.”
In this research project, Dr. Salehi
is closely working with his collaborators, Dr. Mina Mahdian, assistant professor and program
director at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine,
and Dr. Aditya Tadinada, assistant professor at University of
Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) to develop the optical imaging
technology. Dr. Salehi and his colleagues have now established an
interdisciplinary team composed of multiple clinicians with expertise in
diagnostic imaging and an engineer with background in image processing,
computer vision, optical imaging modalities, and lasers.
SPIE Photonics West is the world's largest
multidisciplinary event for photonics. Every year over 20,000 people come to
hear the latest research and find the latest devices and systems driving
technology markets including state-of-the art medical technologies, the
Internet of things, smart manufacturing and “Industry 4.0,” autonomous
vehicles, scientific research, communications, displays, and other solutions
powered by photonics.
