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
Image registration and analysis of anatomical and functional data for image guided surgery. - 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
