BARBANT is an Inria associate team shared between Inria VisAGeS research team and the Computational Radiology Laboratory at the Boston Children’s hospital (Harvard Medical School). This associate team aims at better understanding the behavior of normal and pathological Central Nervous System (CNS) organs and systems. Pathologies of particular interest to us are multiple sclerosis, psychiatric, and pediatric diseases such as pediatric multiple sclerosis or tuberous sclerosis. A major challenge is to characterize the future course of the pathological processes in each patient as early as possible in order to predict the progression of the disease and/or adverse neurological outcomes, and to develop better techniques for both monitoring response to therapy and for altering therapy (duration, dose and nature) in response to patient-specific changes in imaging characteristics. At term, this project will allow to introduce objective figures to correlate qualitative and quantitative phenotypic markers coming from the clinic and image analysis, mostly at the early stage of the pathologies. This will allow for the selection or adaptation of the treatment for patients at an early stage of the disease.

Collaboration with the Department of Computer Science, University of Verona: Emmanuel Caruyer visited the group of Gloria Menegaz and Alessandro Daducci in the context of the 2017 School on Brain Connectomics (http://brainconnectomics.org/).
-
Collaboration with Neuropoly, Polytechnique Montreal: Haykel Snoussi is visiting the group of Julien Cohen-Adad and received an Inria-MITACS fellowship for a 3 months period (Nov. 2017-Jan. 2018). He will be working on the processing of diffusion-weighted images of multiple sclerosis patients' spinal cord in the context of the EMISEP project.
