Tomas Gustavsson was appointed Professor in Imaging and Image Analysis on July 1, 2001.
He was born in 1954 and was awarded an MSc and PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in 1983 and 1991, respectively. His thesis dealt with pattern recognition and analysis of medical ultrasound images. After a postdoc period at the Medical Research Council in Edinburgh, Tomas Gustavsson returned to Chalmers to establish a research team for medical image analysis. He was appointed "docent" in 1996.
Summary of the research
Tomas Gustavsson is active in the field of imaging and image analysis within biomedical applications. A combination of physical and mathematical-statistical modeling makes it possible to accurately detect and quantify structures in images and image sequences. The processing is highly automated to fully exploit the potential of image sensor technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and ultrasonic scanning. Current research activities include: Detection and quantification of arteriosclerosis in the human carotid artery Mathematical-statistical modeling of stem cell migration Development of 3D fluorescence microscopy for neuron volume estimation The work is carried out in close collaboration with research teams at the Departments of Mathematics and Physics at Chalmers, The Wallenberg Laboratory for Cardiovascular Research at Sahlgrenska University Hospital and The Institute of Clinical Neuroscience at the Medical Faculty of Göteborg University
