EUROSTARS program project E!4297 – NICDIT. “A Non-Invasive Expert System for Diagnosis of Intraocular Tumours”

prof. R. Kažys, prof. A. Lukoševičius. (2008–2011).

The basic aim of this Project is create and introduce to market the new intraocular tumour system for its analysis and diagnostics. The system will be made up of new non-invasive ultrasonic tissues characterisation equipment for ultrasonic radio frequencies (RF) signal receiving, for software analysis and digital ophthalmoscope images receiving. This product will be synchronize with a lot ultrasonic diagnostic devices (scanners) which are in market and it will give more information about tumours tissues parameters and will satisfy special users clinical/technical needs.

Information technology tools of clinical decision support and citizens wellness for e.Health system. (InfoSveikata). Project of High technologies development, supported by LVMSF. KUM coordinator prof. A. Paunksnis, responsible executer of KUT prof.A.Lukoševičius. (2007-2009).

The point of this Project is high information technologies applying for health care. The first group of problems in this Project is how to receive medical signals, images and other data features while patient monitoring is on, also it is necessary to measure and calculate in the form of quantitative parameters and prepare record them  into electronic medical disease history. Second problems group - how correctly form the complicated synergetic and semantic relations describing information models, which could show auto control, compensation and adaptation processes of holistic physiological systems positions. Third group – to implement structured data and models. Structured information could be available for automatic information and news search. Fourth problem group – support clinical decision of e. Health pilot services, take prophylactics and create population health care.

Project of EU - COST B21: “Physiological Modelling of MR Image Formation”. Funded by Agency of Lithuania International Programmes (ALIP). (2007). http://www.die.upm.es/costb21/

Activity of this Project was turn to applied researches. Here was sought to relate diagnostic MR images through their texture and other parameters with visualized tissues structure and physiological functions. Developing method and program data processing devices was sought to get more accurate and more detailed in-vivo data about microstructures and functions of MR visualized images. In the end of stage of this Project institute researched methods of images structure appliance for physiological tissues state, created images processing algorithms based by models for images parameterisation, tried and presented software for MR images processing, classified the package of MaZda, organized seminar, created Lithuanian Project web page.
