The central objective of the CRC in medical imaging and assisted interventions is to develop innovative methods and systems for image-guided interventions, following the “See-Reach-Treat” paradigm. This dictates the research activities which are divided into three main themes:

• Organ segmentation and registration for diagnostic planning
• Novel tracking technologies and real-time intra-operative image processing
• Non-invasive imaging with statistical modeling for monitoring therapy delivery

The goal is to bridge the knowledge in medical imaging, applied mathematics and interventional medical procedures, by developing novel computational and algorithmic methodologies to assist radiologists and surgeons in complex circumstances. The MEDICAL research program therefore focuses on developing tools for image-guided interventions, to better assist medical professionals in each phase of a patient’s care-cycle related to a broad range of clinical applications, including neurology, cardiovascular interventions, orthopaedics and interventional oncology.
