Summary:

Image processing in multiple sclerosis (MS): the techniques, the projects and the future

  • Preprocessing pipeline:
1) Skull-based registration by Dr. Vladimir Fonov (ie: spherical harmonic modelisation)
2) Longitudinal preprocessing: Intensity normalization (Dr. Daniel Garcia Lorenzo and Colm Elliot), brain masking (Dr. Simon Fristed Eskilden)…
3) Pipeline workflow: programing language: Python, Perl…
  • Pediatric MS: deformation based morphometry (DBM) by Dr. Daniel Garcia Lorenzo
  • 4D non-linear registration (Nicolas Guizard) regularization of the deformation field, finite element model

Image guided neurosurgery (IGNS): US, visualization, Vessel segmentation

  • Visualization: Intracranial vascular malformations (IVM), evaluation of different rendering, fusion of microscopy and rendering (Marta Kersten), IBIS (Anka Kochanowska and Simon Drouin),GPU rendering (Simon Drouin)
  • Ultrasound (US): tumor resection and calibration (Laurence Mercier), multislice to 3d registration (Dr. Hassan Rivaz), spine reconstruction and cadaver validation (Charles Yan)
  • Future: simulation

Image processing in Alzheimer’s disease: detection, classification, prediction of conversion

  • Brain masking: patch-based brain segmentation technique (Dr. Simon Fristed Eskilden)
  • Hypocampus segmentation: patch-based label-fusion segmentation (Dr. Pierrick CoupĂ©)
