On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Bio:
Sam Mathewlynn is a DPhil student in the placental imaging research group, University of Oxford, under the supervision of Prof. Sally Collins. His research focuses on novel first trimester three-dimensional placental ultrasound markers for the prediction of fetal growth restriction and pre-eclampsia. Sam is also a consultant obstetrician at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, and the medical informatics lead for maternity at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Abstract:
In this talk, Sam will explore the use of first trimester 3D placental ultrasound markers for predicting fetal growth restriction and pre-eclampsia, with a focus on placental volume and 3D fractional moving blood volume. The challenge of placental image segmentation will be discussed, as well as the use of machine learning to enhance this process. Preliminary findings from the FirstPLUS and OxPLUS studies will be presented, and a strategy for the development of novel placental vascular markers will be explored.
