JosÈ A. Rosado-Toro, PhD

Postdoctoral Scholar (IV) in the Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, College of Medicine. Dr. Rosado possesses an extensive expertise on image analysis and segmentation. As part of his doctoral work he developed a novel segmentation technique that extended use of polar dynamic programming to segment complex shapes that is patent-pending. During this last year, he has been working with Drs. Celdran-Bonafonte and Roy-Chaudhury in incorporating and modifying an MRI-to-CFD protocol for swine AVFs. He has used his knowledge of MR image acquisition protocols to help generate accurate CFDs by incorporating geometric information that identifies and spatially locates the site of the flow image in respect to the MRI black blood sequences. He has also developed graphical user interfaces to identify relationship between flow profiles and lumen area.
