The studied images are anatomical and functional images from : conventional radiology imagery, X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (anatomical, functional and angiographic MRI), Isotopic Imaging (Spect and PET), Ultrasound Imaging, Histology Imaging, Monocular or Stereoscopic Video Imaging, etc.

Research Themes
Among the main research themes of the team, one can find the extraction of quantitative parameters (shape, texture) from images, image registration (temporal, multimodal, multi-subject), the construction of anatomical and functional atlases from images, morphometry (statistics on shape and intensities), the analysis of the cardiac motion, the modeling of soft tissues for visual and haptic interaction, physiological models of organs, and the coupling of medical imaging and robotics.

Application domains are :

• Computer aided diagnosis,
• Surgery simulation (which can imply virtual reality and robotics tools),
• Image guided therapy (planning, control and follow-up), which can imply augmented reality and robotics tools.
