Turning images into value through statistical parameter estimation

In Flanders, different research groups are active in the field of quantitative imaging using statistical parameter estimation theory. These groups represent a wide range of disciplines including electron microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, astrophysics, infra-red spectroscopy, X-ray and positron emission tomography. A common goal is to determine unknown parameters, which characterize the object under study, as precisely as possible from experimental images or spectra. The partners involved use the know-how and methods that are specific to their particular application. However, these methods are widely applicable and can be used for a broad range of problems. With the establishment of this network, the expertise of several research groups are combined and aims to stimulate new scientific collaborations and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge on various techniques.
