Internship: AI and data analytics framework robustness analysis

작업 내용

Background Of Barco Healthcare

Barco develops high-precision medical display systems to bring enhanced visualization and diagnosis across the healthcare enterprise, including radiology, mammography, surgery, pathology, clinical review imaging and dentistry. Barco’s full line of color and grayscale diagnostic displays, display controllers and softcopy Quality Assurance (QA) tools facilitate confident diagnoses while guaranteeing perfect image quality over time and across displays. Next to this Barco is also an important player in the Digital Operating Room market with the Barco NEXXIS platform, a unique image management solution that builds on the IP network to ensure complete integration of all devices in and beyond the operating room.

Goal & Description Of The Project

Quality and robustness are critical in Healthcare applications. Guaranteeing this starts during the R&D phase and continues long after productization. With the usage of AI in these safety-critical applications, a thorough robustness analysis dedicated to AI is essential.

Beside the typical parameters of influence during AI training such as rotation and crop size, more specific use-case-dependent parameters were identified and taken care of. For skin-lesion detection and classification this requires e.g. robustness against hair presence, variability in image acquisition, marker presence and deformation due to skin stretching.

During this internship the robustness metrics of an AI model will be thoroughly analysed. This includes implementing a framework to leverage techniques such as Monte-Carlo simulations and boundary value analysis to assess the robustness against a broad range of variables and real-world situations.

About Internships At Barco

The Technology and Innovation group of Barco Healthcare specialises in designing, testing and validating new display technologies and imaging system components specifically for life-critical healthcare applications.

Internships within the Technology and Innovation group consist of 3 to 6 months working fulltime in the lab environment, interacting with the multi-national, multi-disciplinary R&D teams.

During your internship you will be guided by our engineers who are world-experts in the field of medical display image quality. You will have the possibility to work together with them to bring the future to today’s medical imaging technology.

You will also have the opportunity to contribute to cutting edge research by applying your technical knowledge, and you will have ample opportunity and support for developing your industrial writing and presentation skills.

We are a lively and international group, including nationalities from Europe and around the world. Our past interns have come from a variety of countries, including students from Belgium, France, Spain, Turkey, Italy, Lithuania and even Indonesia.
