Sebha University: The Faculty of Science at Sabha University discusses a master’s thesis on diagnosing a herniated disc using image processing techniques.
As part of Sebha University’s ongoing efforts to support innovative scientific research that serves the health and technology sectors, the Faculty of Science – Department of Physics witnessed, on Monday morning (09-02-2026 AD), at 10:00 AM, in the Graduate Studies Hall of the Faculty of Engineering, a public discussion of a master’s thesis submitted to achieve the requirements for obtaining a higher degree (Master). The thesis was submitted by the student, Najat Muhammad Abdullah Al-Tabawi, and was titled: (Detection and Diagnosis of Spinal Disc Herniation from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Using Image Processing Techniques). The study aimed to develop and apply advanced algorithms in digital image processing to improve the accuracy of detecting disc herniations in the spine through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The study aims to provide technical tools that assist doctors in making early and accurate diagnoses, thereby reducing human error and enhancing the efficiency of treatment plans. In her study, the researcher relied on an experimental scientific approach that combines applied physics and computer science, where a set of image data was analysed, and advanced filters and segmentation techniques (Segmentation) were applied to extract infection features with high accuracy, which makes this research a vital addition in the field of biomedical physics. The Scientific Discussion Committee consisted of: Prof Emhammed Mohammed Safour – Supervisor and Rapporteur (Sabha University). Dr Abu Bakr Ali Youssef Al-Ghoul – Internal Discussant (Sebha University). Dr Ali Abdel Qader Muhammad Al-Shanouki – External discussant (Wadi Al-Shati University).
At the conclusion of the discussion, the committee praised the distinguished scientific effort made by the researcher and the importance and modernity of the topic, which kept pace with medical technological developments. The committee recommended that the student be granted a master’s degree in physics, while wishing her good luck and success in her scientific and practical career.
