Abstract:
Imaging technologies are developing at a rapid pace allowing for in-vivo 3D and 4D imaging of the anatomy and physiology in humans and animals. This is opening up unprecedented opportunities for research and clinical applications ranging from imaging for drug discovery and delivery, over imaging for diagnosis and therapy, to imaging for basic research such as brain mapping. In this talk we will focus on how computational techniques based on non-rigid image registration can be used to address the image analysis challenges in healthcare, biomedical research and drug discovery.
