By Petter Bjørklund, Communications Officer at SFI Visual Intelligence

The PRESIMAL Autumn Research School brings together Norway's leading research environments within precision imaging and machine learning – with a special focus on medical imaging across imaging methodes and diseases. This year's research school was held at Oscarsborg Hotel close to Oslo, Norway from October 15th to 17th.

Bhoodoo is a PhD Candidate at Visual Intelligence's hub at the University of Oslo. His project focuses on applying deep learning techniques to cardiac ultrasound imaging – focusing specifically on automating measurements from echocardiograms, assessing image quality, and leveraging recent advances in foundational neural models.

Bhoodoo's awarded research investigates whether state-of-the-art echocardiography foundation odels can accurately localize left ventricular contours when coupled with graph convolutional network heads without extensive fine-tuning, and how it compares with other architectures and training regimes.

With the award, Bhoodoo receives a 5000 NOK travel grant.
