Bilateral Contracts with Industry

Microsoft Research

Microsoft Research is funding through the Inria-Microsoft joint lab the projects "4D Cardiac MR Images" (http://www.msr-inria.fr/projects/4d-cardiac-mr-images) and "Medilearn" (http://www.msr-inria.fr/projects/medilearn) which aim at analyzing large databases of cardiac images to help the diagnosis of cardiac diseases and planning of therapy. This project involves A. Crimisi from MSR and partially funds the PhDs of Pawel Mlynarski.
