A new book written by the LPI has been published by Springer this week: "Statistical Analysis of Noise in MRI Modeling, Filtering and Estimation".

The LPI was present at the first edition of the "Jornadas de Estudiantes en Ingeniería Biomédica" (JEIB), held in Barcelona from the 6th july to the 8th july 2016. This event was organized by the IEEE EMBS BCN Student Club.

In the second week of May, Santiago Sanz and Óscar Peña carried out a research stay in the Health Time facilities of Córdoba and Jaén, Spain. We had the chance to chat and learn from their researchers, doctors, and radiologist in order to extend our diffusion knowledge to the abdominal parts, from the characterization and diagnosis to the acquisition procedure with several MRI (3T, 1.5 and 1T).

In the first week of May, Alex Frangi and Carlos Alberola-López, together with Janette Wallace and Johanne Langford, have carried out an on-site visit of the Granada Conference Venue in which Miccai 2018 will take place.  We have the chance to check that the premises are  excellent for Miccai: appropriate rooms for tutorials and workshops, a nice main hall for oral sessions and sunny and ample spaces for poster sessions, industrial exhibitions and meals.

The LPI was present at the Annual Conference of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM 2016), held last May in Singapore. Two communications were presented at the conference, entitled "Local Analysis of Tract Density Imaging for the Detection of White Matter Alterations" and "Fractal Dimension as a Global Descriptor of the White Matter in Diffusion MRI Group Studies".
