[BIC-announce] Seminar in Biomedical Engineering - Wednesday November 7th - 1 pm- Room 333

[Christophe Grova]

Dear all,

Our next Biomedical Engineering Dpt seminar is this coming wednesday

Wednesday - November 7th,  at 1 pm

Location: Room  333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt, 3775  University Street).

Speaker: Dr Maxime Descoteaux PhD, Associate Professor, Sherbrooke Connectivity Imaging Laboratory (SCIL), Computer Science department, Sherbrooke University

Title : Towards optimal tractography: from raw data to connectivity analysis


Abstract:
In this presentation, I will cover most processing steps involved in the tractography pipeline. Few research groups focus on the whole process: from data acquisition, to pre-processing (motion & artefacts corrections, denoising and super-resolution), to local reconstruction techniques (tensor, q-ball, spherical deconvolution and beyond), to tracking algorithms with several hidden parameters. All these steps have a different impact on the resulting tractography results. What are the key parameters? How do we validate and evaluate the tractography pipelines? What are the current open questions and challenges? The presentation will end with a few applications on neurosurgical planning and connectomic studies.
