6. Image analysis of prostate cancer tissue biomarkers
Abstract : Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. In order to improve diagnosis and prognosis, new sensitive and specific biomarkers are needed. Tissue biomarkers carry expression and morphological information of the tissue where they are expressed. READ MORE

7. Manifolds in Image Science and Visualization
Abstract : A Riemannian manifold is a mathematical concept that generalizes curved surfaces to higher dimensions, giving a precise meaning to concepts like angle, length, area, volume and curvature. A glimpse of the consequences of a non-flat geometry is given on the sphere, where the shortest path between two points – a geodesic – is along a great circle. READ MORE

8. Evaluation of Automatic Quantification Programs for Myocardial Perfusion SPECT using Monte Carlo Simulations
Abstract : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition in which the blood supply to the myocardium is partially or completely blocked due to plaque build-up in the artery wall. Myocardial SPECT imaging is a commonly used technique to assess the blood flow to the myocardium and the function of the heart. READ MORE

9. Modern multimodal methods in brain MRI
Abstract : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the pillars of modern medical imaging, providing a non-invasive means to generate 3D images of the body with high soft-tissue contrast. Furthermore, the possibilities afforded by the design of MRI sequences enable the signal to be sensitized to a multitude of physiological tissue properties, resulting in a wide variety of distinct MRI modalities for clinical and research use.

10. Real-time multi-exposure laser speckle contrast imaging of skin microcirculatory perfusion
Abstract : The microcirculation, the blood flow in the smallest blood vessels in the body, has a vital function as this is where oxygen and nutrients diffuses from the blood to to the surrounding cells. An important quantity is the tissue perfusion, a measure of the microcirculation’s capacity to provide oxygen and nutrients to the cells. READ MORE
