SUMMARY:Breakfast & Science Seminar 35
DESCRIPTION:\nWe are pleased to invite you to the CIBM Breakfast & Science Seminar #35 – Summer Edition – which will be hybrid – both virtual and on-site:\nDate and time: Tuesday June 27th, 2022 – 9:30 to 11:00 CEST\nLocation: Virtual on Zoom and on-site CIBM Seminar Room, EPFL campus, 1015 Lausanne.\nProgram\n09:30 – 10:00 Detecting, quantifying, and correcting MRI motion artifacts in k-space\n\nOscar Dabrowski,\n\nPhD student\nUniversity of Geneva, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Computer Science & Department of Radiology and Medical Informatics\n\nAbstract:\nDespite continuous progress and ongoing research, patient motion in MRI remains a major issue. The method we propose combines artificial neural networks and a model-based approach to estimate the motion of rigid objects directly in k-space. By working directly in k-space, we can leverage the raw data where motion is localized, as opposed to image space where motion is distributed throughout the entire image. Once the motion is estimated, we use the Non-Uniform Fourier Transform framework to reconstruct the image, producing a corrected image that is almost free from motion artifacts.\nAbout the speaker:\nOscar Dabrowski is currently doing a PhD at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) under the supervision of Dr. Sébastien Courvoisier and with Pr François Lazeyras and Pr Bastien Chopard as thesis directors. The goal of his PhD thesis is the detection and correction of motion artifacts in MRI acquisitions, directly in k-space. Oscar Dabrowski holds a BSc (HEPIA, 2013) and an MSc (UNIGE, 2017), both in computer science. During his PhD, he was also a teaching assistant at UNIGE (computer science).\n Supervisors: François Lazeyras, Sébastien Courvoisier (UNIGE)\n10:10 – 10:30 :  FaBiAN, a Fetal Brain magnetic resonance Acquisition Numerical phantom to simulate images of the developing human brain\n\n\nHélène Lajous,\n\nResearch Staff Scientist\nCIBM SP CHUV-UNIL Computational Neuroanatomy & Fetal Imaging Section, Medical Image Analysis Laboratory (MIAL)\nAbstract: \nFetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a pivotal imaging modality complementary to the ultrasound gold-standard in the monitoring of pregnancies, especially in equivocal situations with suspected abnormal neurological patterns. In clinical routine, two-dimensional thick slices are acquired using T2-weighted fast spin echo (FSE) sequences to ensure a good signal-to-noise ratio over the whole fetal brain volume and avoid unpredictable movements of the fetus during the acquisition. Numerical phantoms can mitigate the scarcity of good quality data in this sensitive population by providing a controlled environment with a known ground truth to support the development and validation of advanced analysis methods.\nDuring this talk, I will walk you, both newbies and MR physics aficionados, through the subtleties of FSE sequences in the context of fetal brain MRI. I will then present the first Fetal Brain MR Acquisition Numerical phantom (FaBiAN) that has been developed in our lab to simulate realistic T2-weighted MR images of the brain throughout in utero maturation. Finally, we will explore some applications, including the optimization of advanced super-resolution reconstruction techniques, and in silico data augmentation for supervised fetal brain multi-tissue segmentation.\nAbout the speaker:\nHélène is a post-doctoral researcher in the CIBM SP CHUV-UNIL Computational Neuroanatomy & Fetal Imaging Section. She graduated as a biomedical engineer from the National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble (INPG, France) in 2013. She specialized in quantitative MR imaging (Clinatec, France) and approached the challenges of genetic imaging with a deep interest in neurosciences (NeuroSpin, France) before tackling a PhD at the crossroads of medical imaging, pharmaceutical sciences, tumor biology, and preclinical models. She graduated as a PhD in biomedical technologies in 2018. Passionate about the tremendous advancements achieved in MR imaging, Hélène has been working since 2019 on quantitative MR imaging of the developing fetal brain for computer-assisted diagnosis in the Medical Image Analysis Laboratory (MIAL) headed by Dr. Meritxell Bach Cuadra. She’s the recipient of a grant from the ProTechno Foundation to fund two Master’s students and continue her work on the numerical phantom of the maturing fetal brain she has developed. Hélène has recently joined the Connectomics lab of Prof. Patric Hagmann on a Sinergia project for precision mapping of electrical brain network dynamics with application to epilepsy and will work in close collaboration with Prof. Ileana Jelescu to acquire MR data at ultra-high field, both in healthy volunteers and epileptic patients, and perform curvature-sensitive tractography.\nSupervisor: Meritxell Bach Cuadra (CHUV-UNIL)\n10:30 – 11:00  CIBM News and Networking\nPlease register by Monday, June 26, 2023, 12:00\nTo join us on Zoom, please register at the following link https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5YrdOqsqzspE9GVL3C1vLDuWfU86GLAR7EH#/registration\nTo attend on-site, please register here, as places are limited: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/breakfast-science-seminar-35-tickets-647018589017\nAfter registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nWe look forward to seeing you soon.\n\n
