A NIH-funded project developing topological data analysis techniques to quantify breast tissue architecture for improved breast cancer risk assessment and treatment response evaluation.
Description
This project aims to develop advanced topological data analysis methods for breast tissue quantification to better understand breast cancer and its response to treatment. The project will develop TopoQuant, a suite of techniques for extracting and interpreting fine-grained topological information from breast parenchyma using 2D and 3D breast imaging. The research will aid in identifying high-risk cases prone to cancer manifestation and recurrence, and provide clinically intuitive visualization of relevant topological features.
