Akshay Chaudhari Receives Best Abstract Award at 2018 International Workshop on Osteoarthritis Imaging

July 2018.

Postdoc Akshay Chaudhari received the Best Abstract Award at the 2018 International Workshop on Osteoarthritis Imaging in Nice, France for his abstract, "Open-sourced deep-learning for cartilage and meniscus segmentation".  His work describes efforts to use neural networks to perform tedious tissue segmentation tasks, which ultimately will enable widespread quantitative analysis of knee images.  This will greatly improve our understanding of the factors initiating osteoarthritis, which is the leading cause of disability in the United States.  Congratulations, Akshay!
