Dr. Zhuowen Tu, a CCB investigator and a Neurology faculty, was awarded the "Best Automated Segmentation" Award at the 2007 International Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention conference (http://www.MICCAI2007.org/) in Brisbane, Australia. This award recognizes the novel statistical-learning based method and it's applications pioneered by Dr. Tu for automated detection, representation and analysis of biological shape and form. This competition served the purpose of a comprehensive comparative study of a range of available algorithms on a common database. It also provided the environment for a direct competition between different methods for advanced medical image analysis. We congratulate Dr. Tu and his CCB SIG-STAT in this great international recognition.  View the Award
