HARDI reconstruction workshop, May 2nd 2012, Barcelona

© 2011 EPFL

LTS5 will organize a workshop on high angular resolution diffusion MR Imaging (HARDI) at the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI 2012) conference (Barcelona, Spain, May 2-5 2012).

We are pleased to invite you to the high angular resolution diffusion MR Imaging (HARDI) workshop 2012 that will take place on May 2nd 2012 in the workshops and tutorials session of the IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI 2012) conference (Barcelona, Spain, May 2-5 2012).

The goal of the workshop is to gather researchers working in this field around a table to discuss, share thoughts and explore new challenges in the exciting field of diffusion MRI signal modelling and reconstruction. In this aim, we organize a diffusion MRI reconstruction contest inside the workshop itself, hence providing a way for different groups to propose their own algorithms and to fairly compare their methods against the others on a common set of ground-truth data.
