      Development of MRI-US registration methods. Statistical registration techniques.
    • Dr. Doug Arnold, Montreal Neurological Institute
      analysis of MRI data from patients with Multiple Sclerosis; segmentation of lesions; analysis of brain atrophy
    • Drs. Andrea Bernasconi and Neda Ladbon-Bernasconi, Montreal Neurological Institute
      Image analysis in epilepsy; segmentation and analysis of hippocampus and other medial temporal lobe structures.
    • Dr. Howie Chertkow, Lady Davis Institute, Jewish General Hospital
      Analysis of clinical MRI from normal aging healthy subjects and patients with MCI and AD.
    • Dr. Denise Klein, Montreal Neurological Institute

    • Dr. Bruce Pike, Montreal Neurological Institute
      analysis of MRI data acquire on 1.5 and 3.0T systems
    • Dr. Jens Pruessner, Aging and Alzheimer Disease Research, Douglas Hospital Research
      Center, Validation of automatic hippocampal segmentation
    • Dr. Michael Petrides, Montreal Neurological Institute

  • Collaborations across Canada and North America
    • NIH MRI Study of Normal Brain Development (PI: Evans, MNI)
      In an NIH-funded multi-center project, MRI and behavioral data from 550 children was acquired at 6 US sites and transferred to the MNI for databasing and analysis. My responsibility was for MRI quality control, image analysis and quantification.
    • Dr. Julien Doyon, Département de psychologie, Université de Montréal
      Development and validation of automatic cerebellar segmentation.
