ASSIST

In this VINNOVA/ITEA project, the goal is to streamline radiation therapy for the treatment of tumours. In this project, IMT collaborates with RaySearch, Spectronic, Inovia and Eigenvision.
fMRI tumour

Bayesian fMRI tumour

In this CENIIT project, Bayesian methods for fMRI informed brain tumour treatment planning, the goal is to improve treatment of brain tumours, by including images of brain activity in Elektas software for tumour treatment planning.

Reducing healthcare queues after the pandemic

At the end of September, the ASSIST project received 9 million sek in funding. The hope is that their research on automated analysis of brain images will be able to free up time for healthcare professionals.

Softwares for fMRI yield erroneous results

Common statistical methods used to analyse brain activity through images taken with MRI scanners cannot be trusted, as shown by Anders Eklund and Hans Knutsson of Linköping University, in the highly-ranked journal PNAS.
