  • The goal of this INRIA associated team is to combine the respective research efforts we have recently conducted between the VisAGeS and IPL teams, and thus benefit from the resulting cross-fertilization in order to prolong the efforts which just start to give significant deliverables. We aim at addressing specific aspects of medical image processing for the purpose of neurological disease analysis and their treatment through surgery. Both teams have now significant experience in developing together research tools or experimental framework aiming at:

    • improving neurosurgical practice through pre-operative planning, intra-operative guidance and imaging of brain deformations through the establishment of image processing workflows and validation benchmarks;

    • improving neurological exploitation of the spatio-temporal and multiparametric MRI data produced in the context of multiple sclerosis and more specifically focal MS-lesions.
