Who Am I?
Patrick Barta, M.D., Ph.D. is an Associate Professor
of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins University School
of Medicine. Dr. Barta is an active full-time staff member at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital, and his clinical expertise is Schizophrenia and related
disorders. He is also involved in creating platform-independent software
for image display and measurement to be used in structural and functional
brain imaging analysis. Dr. Barta has authored two programs (MEASURE
and BLOX) that are currently used by PNI for image visualization and
analysis. He also collaborates with researchers at the Center
for Imaging Science on developing quantitative methods for segmentation,
cortical surface area measurement and structure / function integration.
Active Projects
- Cortical Surface Measurement in Psychosis
- Quantitative Structural Imaging in Psychosis
- BLOX
