M4I lecture - Dirk Smeets

Today’s research is confronted with an enormous amount of imaging data coming from many – often complementary – devices. Far-reaching integration of these data sources is helpful to provide new insights in the data (e.g. through a better understanding of the disease mechanism).

In this M4I lecture, the main technical building blocks to achieve such an integration are presented within an example application, that involves the relation of in vivo MRI biomarkers with ex vivo measurements from histology and mass spectrometry.

Dirk Smeets is Chief Technology Officer of Icometrix. Founded in 2011, Icometrix is a spin-off company of the universities and academic teaching hospitals of Leuven and Antwerp. It provides expert quantitative (bio)medical image analysis services to biotech companies, researchers and medical practitioners.
