Nirfast Pre-Conference Training Workshop
April 27-28, 2012
Miami FL
 |
The goal of this workshop is to provide hands-on instruction with NIRFAST for modeling light transport in tissue. The workshop will cover basic aspects of Nirfast and will include user driven examples on modeling light transport in tissues and performing tomographic image reconstruction.
The features covered in the 2 days include:
- DICOM image segmentation to create 2D and 3D finite element models which match experimental tissue volumes
- Modeling forward propagation of diffuse light in tissue
- Calculating inverse problems to recover diffuse tomography images
- Visualization of solutions with and without DICOMs
- Spectroscopic imaging using multiple wavelengths of light
- Emission tomography for fluorescence molecular imaging or bioluminescence tomography

No prior Nirfast experience is needed, although participants are encouraged to download the code and install it prior to the workshop. Participation requires the use of your own laptop computer installed with Matlab 2009a or newer (or a demo installation for temporary use). Basic knowledge of Matlab is recommended.
Use the form below to apply for admission into the workshop.
Nirfast NIH funding allows for a limited number of people to be given financial assistance for travel to the OSA Pre-conference ($500/each), and food will be supplied during the two days of the workshop. All other costs must be assumed by the participants.
