Évaluation de FLI à mi-parcours

Posted on by Maxime Locatelli

    Le Comité de pilotage de l’action “Santé Biotechnologies” de l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche s’est réuni en octobre dernier afin afin de finaliser l’évaluation des Infrastructures de Recherche en Biologie et Santé.   Retrouvez ici le rapport remis par FLI pour son évaluation. L’oral s’est déroulé le 16 juin 2016.   Le Comité de pilotage a souligné « l’excellence de l’activité de formation » et « l’efficacité et la rigueur de la gouvernance » et a remis à FLI des recommandations pour ses … Continue reading

Colloque : Les ultrasons en France : innovations pour l’imagerie médicale et la thérapie en 2016

Posted on by Maxime Locatelli

  Deux ans après le premier rassemblement de la communauté des acteurs des ultrasons médicaux par l’infrastructure nationale France Life Imaging (FLI), le pôle de compétitivité Medicen Paris Région et FLI apportent leurs contributions aux réflexions pour structurer la filière nationale des ultrasons. Cette réflexion tire parti de l’excellence de la recherche technologique et clinique des partenaires et sur la présence d’un  tissu industriel riche composé de majoritairement de startups et PMEs.  Ce colloque fut une occasion renouvelée de présenter … Continue reading

Imagerie sans marquage des tissus : un nouvel outil pour la médecine

Posted on by Maxime Locatelli

  Hervé Rigneault Aix Marseille Université, Ecole Centrale de Marseille, CNRS, Institut Fresnel UMR 7249, 13297, Marseille, France   En utilisant des impulsions laser ultra-courtes focalisées dans les tissus, il est possible de générer des mécanismes de contrastes sans avoir besoin d’aucuns marqueurs fluorescents. C’est le cas de l’auto-fluorescence à deux photons (TPEF) qui révèle la présence de protéines, de la génération de la seconde harmonique (SHG) qui révèle la présence de collagène et des effets Raman cohérents (CARS/SRS) qui … Continue reading

SPCCT European Project

Posted on by Maxime Locatelli

    Spectral Photon Counting CT European Project: SPCCT, a project that heralds a new generation of scanners enabling early diagnosis in oncology and cardiology. Spectral Photon Counting CT is a new and promising imaging modality based on a new energy resolving detector technology. A 4 year collaborative European Project led by the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 was selected and granted (6.4 M€) under the “Horizon 2020” European Research and Innovation program. The SPCCT project using a unique Philips … Continue reading

FLI@JFR2016

For the 4th time, France Life Imaging invites radiologists and researchers to meet and discuss during the Journées Francophones de Radiologie. This year, interventional imaging and its latest developments will be highlighted. This meeting is co-organized by the CERF will take place on October 13th, 2016, in Palais des Congrès, Porte Maillot, Paris. Programme and online registration soon to come.  

IRMaGe : Development of cerebral perfusion imaging through arterial spin labeling

Posted on by Maxime Locatelli

      The measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) is a way to characterize microcirculation and tissue perfusion. Perfusion-related parameters are used in diagnosis and therapeutic follow-up in a large number of diseases (stroke, dementia, head injury, tumors for example). Several techniques exist to measure cerebral blood flow. The least invasive is arterial spin labeling (ASL), where arterial water is used as a tracer within an MRI sequence.     However, quantitative CBF mapping requires several acquisition and post-processing … Continue reading

3rd FLI Paris Centre annual event

Posted on by Maxime Locatelli

The 3rd FLI Paris Centre annual event will take place Friday, June 10, 2016 at the amphitheater # 1 of Xavier Bichat Faculty of Medicine from 8:30 to 17:00. This day is an opportunity for all stakeholders in the Paris Center node of France Life Imaging to meet and discuss their themes, methods to enhance their interactions through scientific presentations by young researchers, an open discussion and a platform visit. The Lyon node will be our guest this year. Part … Continue reading

CENIR : Optical diffuse imaging

Posted on by Lauranne Duquenne

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS, also known as “optical diffuse imaging”) allows one to map on the subject’s scalp local changes in concentration of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, which indirectly reflect neuronal activation (so-called neurovascular coupling). Since fNIRS uses near-infrared light, hence low-energy harmless photons, experiments can be repeated with complete safety. This brain imaging modality is  easy to use, low cost, noninvasive and portable to the patient’s side. GFLI funding has allowed the CENIR to be equipped with an fNIRS … Continue reading

Vivoptic, the FLI’s preclinical optical imaging platform of Bordeaux

Posted on by Maxime Locatelli

  The Vivoptic platform is a component of the Platform for Biomedical Imaging, UMS 3767 CNRS / University of Bordeaux. It provides access to optical imaging equipment for small animals acquired mainly with France Life Imaging (FLI) funding for projects involving imaging of bioluminescence and fluorescence, from cellular scale to the whole animal. The range of optical imaging modalities available to users of this platform is illustrated in Mazzocco et al, Scientific Report 2016. This study shows the potential of … Continue reading
