Campus Moncloa

Main research lines

• Cardiovascular imaging
  Objetives: The aim of this research line is to contribute to an early diagnosis of cardiovascular pathologies, by providing functional and quantitative information of the heart and vessels obtained from images (mainly echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography).
• High resolution preclinical imaging
  Objetives: The aim of this activity is to contribute to the design and implementation of high resolution experimental Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners. These scanners require to detect and identify pairs of photons coming from the same annihilation positron-electron. The identification of these pairs of almost simultaneous photons is the key to obtain information on the spatial distribution of the radiopharmaceutical emitting positrons.
• Microscopy image analysis
  Objetives: The aim of this activity is to develop image analysis methods that allow processing and measuring data acquired with the most recent state-of-the-art microscopy technologies for biomedical understanding. These technologies provide multidimensional in-vivo observations of organism models such as zebrafish. Thus, image analysis is required to approach new challenges in systems biology at the different genetic, proteomic, cellular, organic and individual levels.
• Image guided surgery and radiotherapy
  Objetives: The use of medical images to guide surgical procedures and radiotherapy. Pre-operative images as well as images acquired during the procedures are used.
• Image processing
  Objetives: Processing and analysis of medical images to obtain quantitative data
