International Research Visitors

Visits of International Scientists

• Within the BARBANT associate team, P. Simon K. Warfield, Dr. Benoit Scherrer and Dr. Maxime Taquet (Computational Radiology Laboratory, Harvard Medical School) visited us for a workshop on multiple sclerosis and diffusion image processing.

Visits to International Teams

• Several members of the Visages team (Christian Barillot, Olivier Commowick, Renaud Hédouin, Yogesh Karpate) visited the Computational Radiology Laboratory (Harvard Medical School) for an associate team (BARBANT) meeting to discuss new research topics.

• From November 2014 to February 2015, Hrishikesh Deshpande visits Duke University (in Durham, North Carolina, United States) to collaborate with Professor Guillermo Sapiro on classification using Dictionary Learning. This visit was partially founded by a mobility grant from the doctoral school MATISSE.

• Maia Proisy was co-supervised by UCL and Visages (Pr Jean-Christophe Ferré), during her 6 months visit at UCL for her master research work. In this collaboration was investigated and implemented a pCASL sequence at 3T for measuring brain CBF in neonates at risk of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. This work was also designed to establish a pCASL protocol for further study. Arterial Spin Labelling was a part of an ongoing study (The UCH Baby Brain Study - London), led by Prof Nicola Robertson and Dr Cristina Uria-Avellanal. Imaging data acquisition and processing was made by scientist from the UCL Institute of Neurology - London (Magdalena Sokolska and Prof Xavier Golay).
