Read a blog-post, written by BCN-AIM’s Director; Karim Lekadir, published by our EarlyCause project partners on their blog, Inspirethemind. Karim shares a story about: “Beautiful, healthy minds? Mathematics and mental health beyond the stereotypes” “A beautiful mind” is the title of the critically acclaimed, unauthorized biography of the mathematician John Nash, who famously made great […]

We recently published our work on the repeatability of cardiac magnetic resonance radiomics, with a multi-centre multi-vendor test-retest study, together with our collaborators from the Queen Mary University London. This study investigates a new image analysis toolkit for MRI scans, providing a comprehenvise guide to selecting the most robust features for clinical MRI radiomics models […]
