Project Overview

Medical Imaging Focus

Specialized pipeline for processing and analyzing

MRI
scan data across multiple
ROI
.

Automated Workflow

End-to-end automation reducing manual data processing time from hours to minutes.

Large-Scale Processing

Handles datasets with thousands of

ROI
measurements across multiple subjects and timepoints.

The MRI ROI Data Analysis Pipeline is a data processing system developed to streamline the analysis of medical imaging data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The pipeline automates the extraction, transformation, and statistical analysis of Region of Interest (ROI) measurements, enabling researchers to focus on insights rather than data wrangling.

Built with Python, the pipeline integrates multiple data processing steps including data validation, normalization, statistical testing, and visualization generation. The system was designed to handle the complexities of longitudinal medical imaging studies with multiple subjects, timepoints, and body regions, significantly improving research efficiency and reproducibility.

Key Features

Automated Data Extraction

Parses and extracts ROI measurements from multiple file formats with error handling and validation

Data Normalization

Standardizes measurements across subjects and timepoints for meaningful comparisons

Statistical Analysis

Performs automated statistical measurements and analyses including vessel wall thickness calculations

Batch Processing

Processes multiple subjects and scanning sessions simultaneously with parallel execution

Quality Control

Built-in QC checks to identify outliers and potential data quality issues

Visualization Generation

Automatically creates publication-ready charts and graphs for data exploration and reporting

Results & Impact

The

MRI ROI
Data Analysis Pipeline has significantly improved research workflow efficiency in medical imaging studies. What previously required hours of manual data processing and validation now takes minutes, allowing researchers to iterate faster and focus on scientific interpretation rather than data manipulation. The pipeline has been successfully used to process datasets containing thousands of
ROI
measurements across multiple longitudinal studies.
