The IDeaS Young Researcher ANR grant explores the potential of Image Driven Simulation (IDS) applied to interventional neuroradiology. IDS recognizes the current, and maybe essential, incapacity of interactive simulations to exactly superimpose onto actual data. Reasons are various: physical models are often inherently approximations of reality, simplifications must be made to reach interactive rates of computation, (bio-)mechanical parameters of the organs and surgical devices cannot but be known with uncertainty, data are noisy. This project investigates filtering techniques to fuse simulated and real data. MAGRIT team is in particular responsible for image processing and filtering techniques development, as well as validation.
Project funded by GDR ISIS in collaboration with Institut Pascal

Since June 2012, we have been engaged in a collaboration with Pr. Michel Grédiac. The aim is to give a mathematical analysis and to help improving the image processing tools used in experimental mechanics at Institut Pascal.
The TIMEX project (2014-2016) is funded by GDR ISIS ("Appel à projet exploratoire, projet interdisciplinaire"). It aims at investigating image processing tools for enhancing the metrological performances of contactless measurement systems in experimental mechanics.
Collaboration with the MIMESIS team and AEN SOFA
Participants: R. Anxionnat, M.-O. Berger, E. Kerrien.
The SOFA-InterMedS large-scale Inria initiative is a research-oriented collaboration across several Inria project-teams, international research groups and clinical partners. Its main objective is to leverage specific competences available in each team to further develop the multidisciplinary field of Medical Simulation research. Our action within the initiative takes place in close collaboration with both MIMESIS team and the Department of diagnostic and therapeutic interventional neuroradiology of Nancy University Hospital. We aim at providing in-vivo models of the patient's organs, and in particular a precise geometric model of the arterial wall. Such a model is used by MIMESIS team to simulate the coil deployment within an intracranial aneurysm. The associated medical team in Nancy, and in particular our external collaborator René Anxionnat, is in charge of validating our results. For three years, we have also been collaborating with the MIMESIS team about real-time augmentation of deformable organs.
