New Scalar diffusion-MRI measures proposed by the group

[07 Sep 2018]

An article entitled "Scalar diffusion-MRI measures invariant to acquisition parameters: A first step towards imaging biomarkers" has recently been published in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging journal (Elsevier). In that work, we propose a new set of quantitative measures based on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging from single-shell acquisitions that are designed to be robust to the variations of several acquisition parameters (number of gradient directions, b-value and SNR) while keeping a high discrimination power on differences in the diffusion characteristics of the tissue.

Project led by LPI member receives an Innovation Award in the UK

[04 Jun 2018]

The project "Low-pixel Automatic Target Detection and Recognition" led by Dr. Pablo Casaseca at University of the West of Scotland with multinational electrical systems group, Thales UK and CENSIS received a Special Commendation Award at the Scottish Knowledge Exchange Awards 2018 . This collaboration saw the development of unique technology, enabling automatic detection of humans and vehicles from up to 1500m using thermal imaging.
