Seminars are aimed at an academic audience interested in a broad range of topics related to healthcare sciences. Colleagues across the Healthcare Science Research Institute, related research groups across MMU and other universities and organisations are welcome to attend and/or present their work. If you would like to present a seminar on a topic related to healthcare sciences or if you would like to receive e-mail reminders of upcoming talks please contact: e.tole@mmu.ac.uk
Andrew will introduce the full range of technologies that Wolfram provides, with a specific focus on: i) The Mathematica Development Environment, including applications of the technology to image processing, control systems, signal processing and graphs and networks; ii) Wolfram SystemModeler, a multi-domain simulation environment; iii) Wolfram Alpha, a free to use computational knowledge engine

In this talk, an algorithm based on Active Shape Model for the extraction of Optic Disc boundary is proposed. The determination of Optic Disc boundary is fundamental to the automation of retinal eye disease diagnosis because the Optic Disc Center is typically used as a reference point to locate other retinal structures, and any structural change in Optic Disc, whether textural or geometrical, can be used to determine the occurrence of retinal diseases such as Glaucoma. The algorithm is based on determining a model for the Optic Disc boundary by learning patterns of variability from a training set of annotated Optic Discs. The model can be deformed so as to reflect the boundary of Optic Disc in any feasible shape. The algorithm provides some initial steps towards automation of the diagnostic process for retinal eye disease in order that more patients can be screened with consistent diagnoses.
