Post-doctoral position : Image-Guided Radiotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer

This position has been filled

The Laboratory of Signal and Image Processing (LTSI) is involved in the field of computer-aided interventions (http://www.ltsi.univ-rennes1.fr/). LTSI's research is at the interface of information sciences and health. Its intentions are methodological, technological and clinical and purposes are interpretation and decision support.

The position will take place in the IMPACT team (Images and models for surgical planning and assistance). One of the themes of the IMPACT team is Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): during radiotherapy treatment, the precision of radiation is a critical point that requires several methodological steps. The optimal treatment is achieved by maximizing the dose in the tumor area (prostate, for example) while minimizing the radiation in the organs at risk (rectum, bladder). >>> more information


In the context of an ANR project, and based on previous results obtained in the laboratory, the objective of the work is to study and implement methods for the geometrical description of the target organ as well as surrounding deformable healthy organs. The approach will be based on the combination of automatic or semi-interactive segmentation approaches and soft tissue elastic registration methods.


Candidate profile:
- Knowledge of image segmentation and registration
- Strong programming experience in C++ is necessary (experience in development using ITK and VTK libraries would be appreciated )
- Experience in medical image processing would be appreciated.

The candidate must be rigorous, creative and motivated by teamwork and applied biomedical research.

Laboratory:
Laboratoire de Traitement du Signal et de l’Image (LTSI), INSERM U642, Université de Rennes1.
