Boston – A team of physicists from the University of Bari won the international competition “Laboratory for Computational Imaging Biomarkers” of Harvard’s Medical School. The competition saw 50 research groups from all over the world present their different projects, for which the University of Bari sought to identify the best magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in order to predict, as accurately as possible, the presence of neurodegenerative diseases. The results, obtained by the group of researchers from the “Merlin” Department of Physics at the University of Bari and National Institute of Nuclear Physics of the National Research Council in Bari, will be made public during the International Conference scheduled for September at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The group conducts research aimed at analyzing brain imaging for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. (9Colonne)
