CCMBM Imaging Core Workshop: Introducing BCAB-CT: The Body Composition and Bone CT Analysis Platform
January 23, 11:00am-12:00pm; Mission Bay, Mission Hall, MH-2100
This workshop will introduce and demo “BCAB-CT”, a new open-source image analysis tool to extract 3D metrics of bone and muscle health as well as adipose depot data from CT scans. This tool was developed to support analysis of dedicated research scans or opportunistic clinical scans. This program is freely available to the UCSF community, is easy to install and manage on a standard laptop or desktop, and is operable by users without significant computing or imaging experience. The design of the results archival process centers on easy extraction and statistical analysis of data and on the storage of image masks in a standard format accessible for training of NNs or ML algorithms.

Career and Professional Development Writing Retreat
We know that writing can be hard to find time for, especially when you’re writing something non-scientific. But we also know there are certain things that every scientist needs to write at some point – like a personal bio, a cover letter or résumé, a conference proposal, or a teaching statement. If you are working on applications for jobs, internships, fellowships, or anything else, now is the perfect time to join us!
