La Fundació Marató de TV3 financia el projecte d’imatge mèdica BiomarkEM.cat

Estudis recents han demostrat que mesures obtingudes a través de les imatges de ressonància magnètica (RM) poden ser útils per a predir l’evolució clínica de l’esclerosi múltiple (EM), tant en termes d’història clínica com en termes de resposta als tractaments. Aquestes mesures inclouen la presència de noves lesions així com la pèrdua de volum cerebral en estudis longitudinals de RM. Tot i això, per tal de transferir aquests estudis d'investigació...

Tali Hurtós defends her PhD thesis: “Forward-Looking Sonar Mosaicing for Underwater Environments”

Vehicle operations in underwater environments are frequently compromised by poor visibility conditions. The perception range of optical devices is heavily constrained in turbid waters, thus often complicating navigation and mapping tasks in environments such as harbors, bays, or rivers. A new generation of high-frequency forward-looking sonars that provide acoustic imagery at near-video frame rates have recently emerged as a promising alternative for working under these challenging conditions. In this thesis,…

Onur Ganiler defends his PhD thesis: “Automated detection of new Multiple Sclerosis lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance imaging”

This thesis deals with the detection of new multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. This disease is characterized by the presence of lesions in the brain, predominantly in the white matter (WM) tissue of the brain. The detection and quantification of new lesions are crucial to follow-up MS patients. Moreover, the manual detection of these new lesions is not only time-consuming, but is also…
