Summary
Dr Rashed Karim received his BSc from the University of Toronto and his MSc with Distinction from Queen Mary, University of London. He obtained a PhD in medical image analysis from the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. He is an Honorary Lecturer at Imperial College London.
He currently specialises in software for knowledge discovery from high resolution medical imaging data (CT, MRI, X-Ray) using cutting-edge algorithms from computer vision, image processing and visualisation.
His major works include visualising atrial fibrosis in MRI datasets, algorithm evaluation for left atrial wall thickness and measuring myocardial infarction. He has also proposed methods for creating 2D maps of the heart from CMR images.
