Brain Tumors and Neuro-degenerative diseases

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. Furthermore, in collaboration with the Neurospin center of CEA and the Brookhaven National Laboratory at StonyBrook University we investigate the use of machine learning methods towards automatic interpretation of functional magnetic resonance imaging between cocaine addicted and normal subjects. Last, but not least in collaboration with the Georges Pompidou European Hospital an effort toward understanding tumor perfusion process through comportemental models is carried out with emphasis given on elastic organs.
