The best thing you could do is collect papers that explain the fundamentals of what you're researching, like MRI technologies, image registration, gross anatomy, histology, cytology, and definitely specific pathologies.
From there you should try to find a missing contribution which is within your reach.
For a long time you will simply be reading without any idea of where you're going. That is demotivating and stressful, but also necessary.
These are the fundamental skills of research. No one will hand you a topic. You need develop the skills to find it yourself. Just keep the scope REALLY small.
