Biography

Michael Halle (mhalle@bwh.harvard.edu) is instructor of radiology at Harvard Medical School and Director of Technology Development at the Surgical Planning Lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He received his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from MIT in 1988. During his graduate studies at the MIT Media Lab, he developed computer graphics and image processing techniques that enabled some of the most advanced holographic displays of the time. He received his Master's degree from MIT in 1991 and his Ph.D. in 1997. His research interests include 3-D display, software architecture, and medical visualization. He is also an avid 3-D and “flat” photographer.(Based on document published on 27 November 2007).

In this paper, we present methodology and tools for creating custom three-dimensional anatomical atlases for medical education based on web technologies and open-source software. Traditional medical anatomy education has relied on printed anatomical atlases, in-person lectures, and anatomical dissection. This traditional approach underserves populations in need due to high cost, lack of availabili...Show More

In a previous study, Ardekani et. al. used the Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM) image registration algorithm to analyze the left ventricle of 25 human subjects at both end systole (ES) and end diastole (ED) phases of the cardiac cycle. Of these 25 subjects, 12 had nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and 13 had ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). An average template image at each of ...Show More

To be applied to practical clinical research problems, medical image computing software requires infrastructure including routines to read and write various file formats, manipulate 2D and 3D coordinate systems, and present a consistent user interface paradigm and visualization metaphor. At the same time, research software needs to be flexible to facilitate implementation of new ideas. 3D Slicer i...Show More

We describe an animated electro-holographic visualization of brain lesions due to the progression of multiple sclerosis. A research case study is used which documents the expression of visible brain lesions in a series of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumes collected over the interval of one year. Some of the salient information resident within this data is described, and the motivation for u...Show More

LightKit is a system for lighting three-dimensional synthetic scenes. LightKit simplifies the task of producing visually pleasing, easily interpretable images for visualization while making it harder to produce results where the scene illumination distracts from the visualization process. LightKit is based on lighting designs developed by artists and photographers and shown in previous studies to ...Show More

We give an explicit method for mapping any simply connected surface onto the sphere in a manner which preserves angles. This technique relies on certain conformal mappings from differential geometry. Our method provides a new way to automatically assign texture coordinates to complex undulating surfaces. We demonstrate a finite element method that can be used to apply our mapping technique to a tr...Show More

1992 14th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society

Year: 1992 | Conference Paper |

A system for computer-assisted planning of surgical procedures has been developped. Its components are a workstation with hardware accelerated 3D rendering board, a software environment and a set of procedures. Data sets from over 41 patients have been analyzed so far. We found a potential for improving the surgeons understanding of the anatomical situation he was going to face and for reducing th...Show More
