The study will take place in the Section for Visual Computing, one of the 11 research sections at DTU Compute. The section for Visual Computing employs 12 permanent faculty members and a total number of employees around 45 including PhDs and postdocs. Research in the section concerns image analysis and computer graphics applied to different areas including computer vision, medicine, materials science, and manufacturing. Medical image analysis is a core focus area for the group and central to teaching, project collaboration with external partners, and research. Deep learning is central to this research proposal, and several research projects in the section are based on deep learning for medical image analysis, and most of the employees in the section use deep learning in their research. This makes a strong research environment with extensive knowledge and experience that significantly will support the proposed project. The section has established a close collaboration with the heart center and the center for diagnostic radiology at Rigshospitalet. A deep learning computing setup and office space is established at Rigshospitalet, where students and employees from DTU Compute collaborate with the staff at Rigshospitalet.Technology for peopleDTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment.
