Minisymposium Multivariate and/or Multidimensional Image Processing in Biomedical Applications

Abstract : Nowadays many different modalities are available in medical imaging, including computed tomography (CT) scans, functional or dynamic contrastenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or (DCE-MRI), positron emission tomography (PET). The 2D/3D + time images produced by these advanced devices are useful for cancer diagnosis, radiotherapy or surgery planning, active study of human brain, tumour angiogenesis quantification, etc. In addition, the most recent microscope systems in biomedical laboratories are based on multi/hyper-spectral imaging for brightfield or fluorescence microscopy.
