The aim of the project is the development of new tools in Medical
Imaging and Robotics.
The studied images are anatomical and functional images from :
conventional radiology imagery,
X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT),
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (anatomical, functional and angiographic
MRI),
Isotopic Imaging (Spect and PET),
Ultrasound Imaging,
Histology Imaging,
Monocular or Stereoscopic Video Imaging,
etc.
Research themes
Among the main research themes of the team, one can find the
extraction of quantitative parameters (shape, texture) from
images,
image registration (temporal, multimodal, multi-subject...),
the construction of anatomical and functional atlases from images,
morphometry (statistics on shape and intensities),
the analysis of the cardiac motion, the modeling of soft tissues for
visual and haptic interaction, physiological models of organs, and the
coupling of medical imaging and robotics.
Application domains are :
Principal applications are for
computer aided diagnosis,
surgery simulation (which can imply virtual reality and robotics
tools),
image guided therapy (planning, control and follow-up), which can
imply augmented reality and robotics tools.
