Contribution as Population Imaging Flagship Node to imaging of vascular calcifications in the brain

February 13, 2025

For their fascinating research, Dr. M. Linda Sutherland and Dr. Giuseppe Barisano made use of an image analysis tool provided by the Population Imaging Flagship Node Rotterdam via the Euro-BioImaging network. In particular, a custom ImageJ plugin was provided for the analysis of intracranial arteriosclerosis. The group applied the plugin on brain CT scans of a native Bolivian population of 1,000 individuals to test their hypothesis that calcification of the intracranial internal carotid artery can be related to dementia.
