The LPI has taken part on the 36th Conference of the Spanish Society of Biomedical Engineering (CASEIB2018), held in Ciudad Real between the 21st and 23rd of November.

El pasado 4 de octubre de 2019, en el Paraninfo de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Valladolid, tuvo lugar la toma de posesión protocolaria del Personal Docente e Investigador que ha cambiado de Cuerpo o Escala, entre ellos dos miembros del LPI: Pablo Casaseca (Profesor Titular de Universidad) y Santiago Aja (Catedrático de Universidad).

Santiago Aja-Fernandez has received the Best Poster Award in the Computational Diffusion MRI (CDMRI) workshop, held at MICCAI 2018  last Sept. 20th 2018 in Granada (Spain), for the communication "Return-to-axis probability calculation from single-shell acquisitions".

Several members of the LPI attended the 21st International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2018), held in Granada, from the 16th to the 20th September.

An article entitled "Scalar diffusion-MRI measures invariant to acquisition parameters: A first step towards imaging biomarkers" has recently been published in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging journal (Elsevier). In that work, we propose a new set of quantitative measures based on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging from single-shell acquisitions that are designed to be robust to the variations of several acquisition parameters (number of gradient directions, b-value and SNR) while keeping a high discrimination power on differences in the diffusion characteristics of the tissue.
