Brief presentation

I am a medical physicist expert in medical imaging. I’m currently working at Tenon University Hospital, APHP, Paris, France.

I’m have also a PhD. With my PhD journey, I discover data science. R langage is my go-to coding language for data science and visualization as well as scientific report.

This hobbyist website is meant to share some tips and tricks in medical imaging I have learned along my career. You can reach me at any of the links below and disciver my projects on Github website.

PhD project

The title of my PhD was “Data science and modeling for image quality assessment of thoracic computed tomography examinations”.

The aim of this thesis is to improve the safety and effectiveness of thoracic CT scan, which is the reference examination for detecting lung cancer. The challenge is to reduce the dose of X-rays received by patients, while guaranteeing sufficiently precise and informative images to help doctors detect disease. To achieve this, the researcher has developed computer tools capable of measuring CT image quality. He has also used innovative techniques, based on the characteristics of the unit elements (pixels) in the images, to better understand and model this quality variation. Finally, he has developed a model, using pixel characteristics, to predict doctors’ acceptance of these images. These advances will make it possible to tailor examinations to individual patients, better monitor the progression of lung cancers, and offer safer, more personalized and reliable medical imaging, to the direct benefit of patients and healthcare professionals alike.

ProtoEnhance project

ProtoEnhance is a software helping to optimize and follow-up CT protocol acquisition settings for GE machines. Here you can find a link to access to its website : ProtoEnhance website.

DRL for interventional room project

In France, each year, you have to perform the DRL and send specific files to a public institute (IRSN). It could generate a lot of work with very fastidious steps with the following workflow :

  • collect the data,
  • verify the data,
  • perform data wrangling,
  • prey gods you don’t make some mistakes

Hopefully, I propose you a script in R to help you in its task : Interventional DRL website
