IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine's unique aim is to publish original work in the intersection of engineering and clinical translation. The journal's focus is interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, and industry and aims to publish results and best practices from these translational efforts.
HUAFENG LIU received his B.S. in Optical Engineering in 1995, M.S. in Measurement Techniques and Instruments in 1998, and Ph.D. in Positron Emission Tomography in 2001, all from the Department of Optical Engineering, Zhejiang University. From 2001 to 2003, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, working on statistical filtering and inverse mechanics strategies for cardiac image analysis and PET image reconstruction. He is currently a full professor at Zhejiang University. Dr. Liu is currently the director of the ZJU-HAMAMATSU Joint Photonics lab, which was cofounded by Hamamatsu Photonics K. K. and the Department of Optic-Electronic Information Engineering, Zhejiang University in 1995. Since then, his lab has focused on biomedical imaging instrumentation (PET), image reconstruction (PET, fMRI, ECG) and medical image analysis.
Although accurate and robust estimations of the deforming cardiac geometry and kinematics from cine tomographic medical image sequences remain a technical challenge, they have significant clinical value. Traditionally, boundary or volumetric segmentation and motion estimation problems are considered as two...
