PhD Positions in Medical Imaging, Visualization and Image Processing, Vienna, Austria

We are offering two PhD positions in Vienna, Austria in the fields of medical imaging, visualization and image processing in the scope of the project KASI – Knowledge Assisted Sparse Interaction for Peripheral CT-Angiography funded by FWF Austria. One open position is at the Commission for Scientific Visualization of Austrian Academy of Sciences and another is at the Institute of Computer Graphics and Algorithms, Vienna University of Technology. Both PhD positions are available immediately.

The main goal of the project is to develop new data processing and visualization techniques for diagnostics of CT-Angiographic data, which depict the vessels of lower extremities and their pathologies by means of hundreds of tomographic images. One of the students will primarily focus on development of new visualization and interaction techniques, while the responsibilities of the second one will reside in development of new algorithms for processing of volumetric data. Both students will closely collaborate with radiologists, who will be the users of the developed software.
