MRI Analysis

This my new topic studying with my students Kaya Oğuz (PhD) and Züleyha Akusta (PhD).
The topic is selected by most valuable person Prof.Dr.Ali Saffet Gonul.

If we are going to pass some stages, we are going to share some valuable information
for the researchers here.

The early stages include;

1. 3 Tesla MR Device.
This device has many abilities to capture T1/T2 images, DIT functionalities etc.
The data is gathered by using this device.

2. Matlab 2010a.
We are using Licensed version of Matlab 2011a with Image Processing Toolbox and Statistical Toolbox.
Trying to watch the Mathwork’s Forums/Exchange Services.

The other valuable information is going to be given step by step under the circumstances of the development and sharing conditions.

Retina Image Analysis

Under this topic, my student Cemre Candemir(PhD) is currently working.
The work is based on our paper ( doi:10.1016/j.cmpb.2009.04.005 ).

The paper mentioned above (published in 2009), mainly focused on new algorithm. This algorithm is hybrid approach of Matched Filtering and Ant Colony Optimization methods.
This approach was new approach on Retina Image analysis. Although the performance obtained in the work is not satisfying, the method is a contribution presenting novelty
in the area.

Now, we are trying to increase our success on performance through new works developed by my students.

We are going to give the necessary materials for whom studying the same subject here…

1. The Database:
As you know, the work should be compared with other works by using standard set of images (i.e. Image Database).
We are using DRIVE database. Here you find the database: http://www.isi.uu.nl/Research/Databases/DRIVE/

2. Matlab:
We are using Licensed version of Matlab 2011a with Image Processing Toolbox and Statistical Toolbox. Trying to watch the Mathwork’s Forums/Exchange Services.

3. Neural Network tools:
They are developed on Matlab as our custom code. Because, you know, model requires some tunable parameters. So the code should be
modifiable.

4. Software Development Platforms:
Visiual Studio 2010 is used for other coding. We are member of Microsoft Academic Alliance. So, all development can be done on the licensed softwares.
But you can also use
