The Imaging Office is looking for a master student for a thesis project entitled: “Automatic MRI sequence classification” Please see more details below. If you’re interested, write an email with motivation and CV to i.vanhouwelingen@erasmusmc.nl
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.
Two of our Imaging Office members are part of the EuCanImage workshop team to provide an in-depth exploration of advanced clinical data integration techniques, tools, and insights gained through the EuCanImage (European Cancer Imaging Platform for Development of Trustworthy AI in Oncology) project. Please find below the original workshop information from EuCanImage:
Last week marked the kick-off of the Erasmus MC AI Accelerator programme. It was a good opportunity to meet with other groups throughout (and beyond) the hospital working on AI. The Imaging Office was also represented with a poster showing current work and future challenges in working with AI. Many thanks to the AI Accelerator team and looking forward to some fruitful collaborations!
As Population Imaging Flagship node Rotterdam, the Imaging Office is connected to the European Biomedical Imaging Infrastructure Euro-BioImaging. Via this infrastructure the Imaging Office is able to provide its services on a European level. Via Euro-Bio Imaging we recently received two funding opportunities for industry to make use of the services of the Imaging Office:
Two weeks ago, the AMIE core facility together with the Imaging Office, organized a workshop focused on Data Analysis Techniques for Preclinical Imaging. We provided the participants with essential insights and skills for analyzing preclinical imaging data and the opportunity to network with fellow researchers and industry. We were able to do this through the enthusiastic involvement of experts like Christian Vanhove (Image processing basics), Ilva van Houwelingen (Advanced image processing techniques + Hands-on training with freeware: Weasis and 3D slicer), Theo van Walsum (Hands-on training with freeware: MeVisLab), Oleh Dzyubachyk (Analysis of small animal imaging data: examples, challenges, and opportunities) and Joanes Grandjean (Data curation).
Four Euro-BioImaging Nodes accompanied by Claudia Pfander, Euro-BioImaging’s Strategic Business Developer, participated in a 2-day IHI (Innovative Health Initiative) Brokerage event in Brussels, designed to facilitate networking and the formation of consortia for IHI’s 2025 Open Call 9. It’s the ultimate networking event, bringing together players from research institutes, industry and small and medium enterprises.
The Health Data Hub (HDH) and its consortium have won a European call for projects with the SHAIPED project, aimed at developing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for medical devices. With a total budget of €4 million, this selection is the 10th of the HDH for European calls for projects, confirming its commitment to the development of digital health in Europe.
The department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine has published its yearly scientific report for 2023. This publication provides a nice overview of the scientific output of BIGR, as well as the other research groups in the Erasmus MC Department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine. Interested? You can find the full report here.
The afternoon of June 4th was all about MDR and what researchers who develop software should know about it. The symposium was hosted on behalf of the ICAI Stroke Lab and the Imaging Office of the Radiology & Nuclear Medicine department of the Erasmus MC. There was more enthusiasm than anticipated on, which made the room somewhat less suitable.
