Selected Projects

May 2013 – Present: The ProstaCAD project (Case Western Reserve Univ.)

- I developed two C++ solutions for prostate cancer classification and 3D visualization.

- GUI was developed by Qt. I used VTK for 3D visualization. ITK was used image processing and feature

extraction.

- I also used Eigen API library for advanced mathematical calculations and matrix manipulation.

- A portion of the cancer classification code was ported from Matlab to C++.

- These solutions will be deployed in radiology clinics (e.g. Alpha3T in New Jersey) by the end of November,

2013.

- This was a cross-platform solution so, I used visual studio on windows and I used gcc on linux.

June 2011 – December 2012 : The JointGuide Project (Univ. of Tennessee)

- All the research required for this project was done at the Universiy of Tennessee.

- I managed to reconstruct 3D models of the cartilage from ultrasound RF signals.

- This software aimed to guide needle injection in the knees and shoulders using ultrasound.

- This software was installed on ultrasound machines in Grant Medical Center, Columbus, OH.

- This software communicated with the ultrasound machine and was able to read and process the RF signals.

- This software communicated successfully with the gps equipped probes, motion sensors and externally

attached electromagnetic trackers.

- It read and processed the ultrasound RF signals, it displayed reconstructed 3D models of knee and shoulder

bones, all in real-time.

- I mainly used C++ for developing this software. Qt was used for graphical user interface. Open Inventor was

used for for 3D Visualization and point cloud manipulation.

- I had to submit Requirements report for the project. I used Enterprise Architect to generate it after supplying it

with all the required info. I also documented all the code I submitted and worked on all the steps till

deployment of the software.

May 2008 - April 2011: The Diagnosoft CMR Suite (Diagnosoft, Inc.)

- Worked as Biomedical Software Engineer specialized in Diagnostic MRI Solutions.

- Worked on Image Processing Modules (e.g. Filters, Fourier, Compression, JPEG).

- Worked on the security of the program.

- Working with C, C++, MFC, Win32 APIs and C#.

- Doing research and Analytical Design tasks related to various Medical Image Formats (DICOM, PHILIPS,

- Also, working on all the product-generated XML Files: scanning, editing, …. etc.

- Doing all needed research and results validation using Matlab.
