Enabling High Fidelity Imaging and Quantification of Tissue Mechanical Properties in Vivo through Access to Sophisticated Inverse Problem Solvers

SPRING 2016 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEES 

PI: Paul Barbone (Mechanical Engineering, ENG)

This project aims to bring new imaging capabilities, enabled by high-performance computing, to a wide cadre of biomedical researchers through a Biomechanical Imaging Science Gateway (BIG@BU) web portal. The BIG@BU Gateway will provide public access to advanced software to solve inverse problems in Biomechanical Imaging. The project will focus on two aspects: (A) To create a web-enabled user interface that simplifies access for novice users; (B) To enhance the functionality of software to reach a much broader audience of potential users than could be currently served.

This work is funded by a Hariri Research Award made in June, 2016.
