What we study
The O'Dell Lab works on medical imaging of the lungs. A recent student project builds 3D models of lung blood vessels in ImageJ to count vessels in babies born early and compare them with full-term babies over time.

Project Assessing Lung Vasculature Development and Application to Early Preterm Gestation Patients
The lab maps lung blood vessels in babies born early and compares them to full‑term babies over time. Students will use ImageJ to build 3‑D models, count vessels, and look for links between vessel numbers and how many weeks the baby was born.
