The 3-D Laboratory develops and assesses the clinical role of computer graphics and computer vision applications to the analysis of medical imaging data and processes over 10,000 clinical examinations each year. The 3-D Medical Imaging Laboratory has served as the imaging core lab for three pivotal trials of medical devices: the Aneurx Thoracic Aortic Stent-Graft, the Cook Zenith TX2 Endovascular Graft, and the Biosense-Webster NaviStar ThermoCool Catheter for the Radiofrequency Ablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation. Dr. Rubin has been the Principal Investigator for all three trials, coordinating imaging and image interpretation. Dr. Rubin is the author of over 125 peer-reviewed manuscripts and over 40 review articles and book chapters.
