IBME student Alexander Gleed wins 2nd place best oral presentation at IEEE ISBI 2023

IBME DPhil student Alexander Gleed received 2nd place best oral presentation award at the IEEE International Symposium in Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) 2023 for the presentation of his first-authored research paper titled ‘Towards multi-sweep ultrasound video understanding: Application in detection of breech position using statistical priors’.

He says, "I am delighted to receive the award for my presentation at ISBI 2023. I would like to say thank you to my mentor Professor Alison Noble, lab colleagues, and collaborators at the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) in India who helped make this study possible and a success”.

His paper explores using a graph-based, machine learning algorithm to combine information from multiple obstetric ultrasound video sweeps taken blindly. The reported study is part of the CALOPUS project (Computer-Assisted LOw-cost Point-of-care UltraSound), which investigates automated prediction of pregnancy risk factors from obstetric ultrasound video following a simple video sweep protocol. CALOPUS is an international collaboration between the University of Oxford’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME), the Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health (WRH), and the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) in Faridabad, India, and is funded by the Global Challenge Research Fund (EPSRC grant reference EP/R013853/1).
