JOB /OFFER DESCRIPTION: 
Under the hierarchical authority of Professor Mouloud ADEL, the candidate will have the following missions:

• Build an annotated database with the medical team
• Develop segmentation algorithms using artificial intelligence techniques
• Write scientific articles related to the project

The main activity will be: 

• Conduct research activities related to the project.
• Ensure scientific monitoring of the project
• Disseminate and communicate the research results obtained

The objective of this research project is to develop digital methods to help characterise the bladder wall on 3D Magnetic Resonance Images, based on image processing techniques and machine learning approaches, in order to provide doctors with a computer-aided diagnostic tool. The main scientific issues to overcome are, on the one hand, the 3D segmentation of MRI images using semi-supervised learning techniques based on deep neural network architectures, and, on the other hand, the choice of relevant radiomic attributes for the characterisation of the bladder wall.
