Key Laboratory of Medical Information Computing（Northeastern University），Ministry of Education

Affiliated to the discipline of Computer Application Technology (National second-level key discipline), the discipline of Computer Science and Technology and Biomedical Engineering(first-level discipline of Doctor's degree), and the National Engineering Research Center for Digital Medical Equipment, the laboratory belongs to the discipline of information science, which was accredited to be qualified to offer doctoral program and is one of the key construction laboratories of “Project 211”、“Project 985” in Northeastern University.

Aiming at solving fundamental problems to applications in medical image computing, closely integrated the international development trend of this discipline and the requirements of national and regional economic growth, MIC’s research focus on four directions: reconstruction optimization & visualization of medical image, processing and analysis of medical image, retrieval & mining of medical information, computing environment of medical information. MIC strengthens the basic research and applied technology development and have made a number of important innovation and application of research results.

The researchers of the laboratory pay a lot of attention to the application of the research results. Many prototype systems have been developed to help the clinical diagnosis, by means of cooperation with the companies and medical organizations. Currently, lung function analysis and DSA nerve silhouette prototype system have been developed by our researchers, which were integrated into the latest 64-slice CT scanner system of the Neusoft Medical Systems Co., Ltd. Furthermore, the semantic search engine prototype system of electronic medical records has been integrated into the Clinical data warehouse system developed by Neusoft Corporation, which has been widely used in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University and Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University.

A high academic level and age structure, wide vision, a strong sense of responsibility, innovative academic echelon has been established by actively training and attracting talents, promoting innovation team in MIC. The laboratory adheres to promote the cultivation of high-level professionals with distinctive subject characteristics and the high level of research.
