Beyond the Patterns Essam Rashed Human head models with deep learning enabled dielectric

Dr. Essam Rashed has been working in many fields of medical image processing. Therefore, its a great pleasure to host him as a virtual guest in our lab Abstract:Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a commonly used clinical procedurefor neurophysiological characterization. Personalized TMS requires a pipeline for individual head model generation to provide targetspecific brain stimulation. This process includes intensive segmentation of several head tissues based on MRI data, which has significant potential for segmentation error, especially for lowcontrast tissues. Uniform electrical dielectric properties are assigned to each tissue in the model, which is an unrealistic assumption based on conventional volume conductor modeling. In this talk, I will briefly highlight this problem and discuss new approaches for fast and automatic estimation of the dielectric properties in the human head models without anatomical segmentation.
