About this mini-course
Digital image acquisition systems allow for the storage and sharing
of image data, but also allow for the processing of that data for
different purposes.
Through adequate image processing pipelines we can obtain quantitative
data from a single image or from a collection of images. In some cases,
digital processing is needed even to obtain a meaningful image from a
set of acquired data.
In this short course we will analyze the need and applications of image
processing, and review the different methodologies used to design complete
quantitative image processing pipelines.

in the study of brain pathology
++ Connect with the M+Visión network
About this mini-course
This mini-course on neuroimaging and neuroscience consists of lectures, panel
discussions, and question-answer sessions. Leaders in imaging research will
present current work in their field by presenting the dramatic success of imaging
in the clinic, and discuss open challenges and opportunities faced by physicians,
scientists, and engineers.
Three main topics will be covered in this session: neurodegeneration, the basic
science of Alzheimer’s disease, the clinical side of neurological and psychiatric
disorders, and technical and radiological challenges in neuroimaging. Talks
progress from basic science to the clinical point of view, and end with technical
aspects of neuroimaging. Topics will include early-onset psychosis, which starts
before 18 years of age and has poor clinical prognosis. Its etiology is unknown
but psychosis is known to affect brain maturation and functioning. Neurological
impairments and cognitive decline related to neurodegeneration, brain
connectivity, neuropathological findings in dementia & Alzheimer’s will
Neuroimaging, Neurosciences & Brain Diseases
also be covered. Participants will also study how tumors present an enduring
challenge in the diagnostic imaging of brain tumors and epileptogenic lesions.
Technical issues and the usefulness of advanced techniques such as perfusion,
diffusion, or spectroscopy will be shown as tools to improve diagnosis. Finally,
the session will examine the limitations of such techniques, suggesting new
avenues of technological development.

+ Connect with the M+Visión network
About this mini-course
This mini-course will introduce attendees to critical aspects in the diagnosis
and treatment of cancer. This will include an introduction to the biology of
cancer and address the basic question: Why do people die from cancer?
We will discuss the different cellular and physiological attributes of cancer
including its metastasis to secondary sites. We will then present an overview
of the current imaging modalities used to diagnose and monitor therapy.
Based on this foundation, the remainder of the course will explore the issues
associated with various different types of cancer and the limitations associated
with current imaging techniques. A special emphasis will be given to current
unmet clinical and research needs.
The objective of these sessions is to holistically address the profile of cancer
patients who have solid tumors, and the significant portion of the cancer
population approaching oncologic pathology, such as patients with digestive
Changing Oncology Through Technology
tumors. Patients involved in clinical trials, and the diagnosis, treatment, and
monitoring of tumors will also be considered. All procedures and aspects will
include services of The Family Cancer Genetic Counseling, so that at the end of
the sessions the audience will have a broader and clearer perspective of how to
manage the cancer patients in all phases of clinical oncology.
After this module, we expect fellows to be able to read and understand the
relevant literature, speak with clinical oncologists and evaluate imaging
approaches to overcome unmet clinical needs in the diagnosis, monitoring
and treatment of cancer.

++ Get an overview of open questions in ophthalmology,
and of novel optical technologies for diagnostics
and treatment
++ Generate ideas for solving unmet clinical needs
in ophthalmology
++ Get hands-on experience in developments and
applications of ophthalmological technologies
++ Meet key biomedical imaging research and clinical
groups in the M+Visión network
About this mini-course
Attendees will become familiar with clinical needs in ophthalmology, and how
optical imaging technologies are meeting these needs. They will also be presented with some examples of current application and translation. Through visits to
the Institute of Optics and Fundación Jimenez Diaz, and meeting key research
and clinical groups in Boston and Madrid, the class will observe firsthand how
translational research in the area of ophthalmology is conducted.

About this mini-course
In this mini-course you will learn about the opportunities preclinical molecular
imaging affords researchers studying drug discovery, phenotyping, genetic
expression, and other areas. Molecular imaging methods originally developed for
human use are being used increasingly with small laboratory animals. However,
clinical scanners’ performance and protocols are not convenient for use in truly
small animals such as mice. As a result, special small animal scanners and
methodologies have been developed with the purpose of approaching a functional
state in which many of the studies performed in human subjects could be carried
out in small animals with comparable accuracy, and therefore enable truly
translational research. Preclinical molecular imaging applications can be found
in the areas of drug discovery and development, phenotype characterization of
genetically altered animals, imaging gene expression and in the study of animal
models of human diseases. Drug development and discovery imaging techniques
can be used to quantify the amount and identify the site of action of labeled drugs
administered to small animals. Phenotype assessment in genetically altered
animals and imaging gene expression studies can also be designed to identify
specific biochemical alterations caused by genetic manipulations in small
Preclinical Imaging
animals. Such studies provide an excellent means of verifying the results of these
manipulations, since these often rare and expensive animals can survive the
imaging procedure and be studied repeatedly, possibly to evaluate the effects
of putative therapies. Recent reports have also described studies able to image
regional gene expression in living animals, a research area that is growing very
rapidly. Animal models of human diseases methods are excellent research tools:
for example, imaging of tumor xenografts implanted in mice allows the effect
of therapies to be evaluated. These, and many other applications capitalize on
these particular features of Molecular Imaging in small animals.
