by Maria Kvist — 2007-10-02 10:19

CMIV and NVIS (Norrköping Visualization and Interaction Studios) will together form C-site, one of the two national venues for visualization. The other venue is called Center of Visualization Göteborg. C-site and Center of Visualization Göteborg will work together in a network called Visard (Visualisation in Sweden – Arenas for Research and Development). The venues will create opportunities for exchanging ideas and establishing new forms of collaborations.

CMIV releases the Canonical Correlation Analysis toolbox for SPM

by Ingela Allert — 2007-06-27 10:59

The Canonical Correlation Analysis toolbox for SPM is a new method for detecting brain activity patterns in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The toolbox combines powerful adaptive digital filtering, canonical correlation analysis and a hemodynamic signal transduction model, i.e. the Balloon model, to detect areas of neural activity in brains. fMRI has become an important tool in the field of neuroscience and the release of this toolbox is a step towards broader adoption of fMRI among clinicians.

At CMIV an old dream in MRI is brought to life: Synthetic Magnetic Resonance Imaging

by Ingela Allert — 2007-06-20 15:42

Quantification of the absolute MR tissue parameters of a patient (such as T1 and T2 relaxation and water content) makes it possible to synthesize a whole range of contrast weighted MR images, without the need of scanning again. A quantification measurement method that is developed at CMIV covers the brain at high resolution in only 5 minutes.
