Presentation

The Asclepios project has three main objectives:

• Analysis of Biomedical Images with advanced geometrical, statistical, physical and functional models,
• Simulation of Physiological Systems with Computational Models built from biomedical images and other signals,
• Application of previous tools to Medicine and Biology to assist prevention, diagnosis and therapy.

Research Themes

To achieve these objectives, the research work is divided into four themes:

• Medical Image Analysis
• Biological Image Analysis
• Computational Anatomy
• Computational Physiology

A description of the on-going research projects can also be found in the annual Activity Report:
