PhD position - Automatic segmentation of 3D ultrasound for spinal imaging in clinical settings

Dr Dario Cazzola, Prof Neill Campbell, Dr Logan Wade - University of Bath, Department for Health

The overall aim of this project is to enable imaging of the spine via ultrasound. This will be achieved through the following objectives:

• Collection of 3D ultrasound and motion capture data in a clinical population of ankylosing spondylitis patients (already underway).
• Implement and evaluate a generative machine learning model that uses computer vision approaches to automatically segment ultrasound images and create 3D spinal models.
• Automate creation of highly patient-specific musculoskeletal models from the generative spine model that will accurately represent patient movements and joint loads for clinical settings.

Preferred start date – 2 October 2023

Deadline for application: Tuesday, February 28, 2023
