About AI-IR
AI in Interventional Radiology Research Group
Based at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), our lab brings clinical experience, engineering, and software development together to build and evaluate tools for minimally invasive procedures.
Our research
We develop imaging and AI methods for treatment planning, target localization, and procedural navigation.
Our work also includes experimental imaging systems, lower-cost imaging and AI tools, clinical studies, and software for medical image analysis.
Our team
AI-IR brings together clinicians, research staff, and students. The group spans clinical practice, medical imaging, AI, and software development.
Our projects connect people who develop imaging and AI tools with clinicians who evaluate their use. Find individual research interests and professional profiles on our Team page.
