  <body><![CDATA[<p>Chris Hermann, a PhD student in the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at <a href="http://www.bme.gatech.edu/" target="_blank">Georgia Tech</a> (Atlanta, GA, USA), has developed imaging software that can monitor this bone growth by analyzing <a href="http://www.vision-systems.com/articles/2011/09/imaging-gets-to-the-heart-of-the-matter.html">computed tomography</a> (CT) images of the skull. The device is called an <a href="http://www.vision-systems.com/articles/2010/06/New_Frontiers_in_Imaging_Software.html">image-processing algorithm</a>.</p><p>These are exciting times for the&nbsp;advancement of medical technologies and devices&nbsp;for the&nbsp; pediatric population, as well as innovative times for the Atlanta Pediatric Device Consortium, as it establishes itself in the southeastern hub of the U.S. as a one-of-a-kind facility making significant strides toward gains in pediatric care. </p><p>To read the full article featuring Chris Herman, Ph.D.&nbsp;by Vision Systems Design click <a href="http://www.vision-systems.com/articles/2011/09/imaging-algorithm-monitors-bone-growth.html">here</a></p><p>Press releases related to the medical technologies and advancements of&nbsp;&nbsp; the center can be found on various medical research websites, click on the names of the sources below to read the press release. </p><p><a href="http://www.futurity.org/health-medicine/hydrogel-may-help-tiny-skulls-heal/?utm_source=Futurity+Today&amp;utm_campaign=9a059181f2-October_610_6_2011&amp;utm_medium=email">Futurity</a></p><p><a href="http://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?nid=69841">GA Tech News Room</a></p><p><a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:my6AoJQx5HMJ:www.coe.gatech.edu/content/georgia-tech-engineers-conduct-craniosynostosis-research+Georgia+tech+Craniosynostis&amp;cd=2&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;gl=us">College of Engineering Georgia Tech News Room</a></p><p><a href="http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-09-technologies-treatment-craniosynostosis-children.html">Medical Express</a></p><p><a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/09/110906152455.htm">Science Daily</a></p>]]></body>

         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
