Section: Application Domains

Clinical Projects

• MR & Muscular Diseases: The use of MR and Diffusion Tensor Imaging are investigated in collaboration with the Henri Mondor University Hospital and Institut of Myology towards automatic quantification of muscular mass loss and non-invassive biopsy. The aim is to provide tools that could be used to automatically analyze MR imaging and extract useful clinical measurements (Insitut of Myology), and assess the potential impact of diffusion tensor imaging towards automatic quantification either of muscular diseases progression.

• Image-driven Radiotherapy Treatment & Surgery Guidance : The use of CT and MR imaging for cancer guidance treatment in collaboration with the Oscar Lambert Center. The aim is to provide tools for automatic dose estimation as well as off-line and on-line positioning guidance through deformable fusion between imaging data corresponding to perioding patient treatment. The same concept will be explored in collaboration with the Saint-Antoine University Hospital towards image-driven surgery guidance through 2D to 3D registration between interventional and pre-operative annotated data.

• MR Brain Imaging towards Low-Gliomas Tumor Brain Understanding: The use of contrast enhanced imaging is investigated in collaboration with the Montpellier University Hospital towards better understanding of low-gliomas positioning, automatic tumor segmentation/identification and longitudinal (tumor) growth modeling.

• CT/MR Perfusion Imaging: The use of perfusion imaging is investigated in collaboration with the Georges Pompidou European Hospital towards compartmental analysis and measuring tissue perfusion and capillary permeability in liver tumors.
