Associate Professor
My work has focused primarily on the analysis of structural and functional MRI. Areas of research include the segmentation and registration of MRI, with some emphasis on applications in image-guided surgery. The figure on the upper right illustrates the white matter surface of a brain that was segmented from MRI using Adaptive Segmentation of MRI (the "EM Segmenter") .
My research in medical image registration concerns the use of Mutual Information as a criterion for image fusion. This approach has become the de-facto standard for multi-modality problems. Implementations of this method are available in 3D Slicer, our open-source platform for medical image analysis, and in ITK, an NIH sponsored segmentation and registration library.

Junichi Tokuda is a Research Fellow of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He received a B.S in Engineering in 2002, a M.S. in Information Science and Technology in 2004, and a Ph.D. in Information Science and Technology in 2007, from The University of Tokyo, Japan. His main research interest is MRI guided therapy including MR pulse sequence, navigation software, MRI-compatible robot and integration of these technologies for operating environment. He has been working on this area since 2001, and has broad experience in developing software and devices for these applications. For example, the software to assist MRI-guided microwave coagulation therapy of liver tumor, which he developed at Shiga University of Medical Science, Japan, has already been used in more than 100 clinical cases. He joined the Image Guided Therapy Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital since April 2007, and continues to work on MR-guided therapy.
