The Center for Biological and Medical Magnetic Resonance carries out translational research, developing and applying magnetic resonance methods and instruments to explore the morphology, metabolism and physiology of human pathologies and associated animal models.
The CRMBM is a joint Research unit of National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Aix-Marseille University.
The CRMBM is structured around 4 research teams:
- Cardiovascular system
- Central Nervous System
- Musculoskeletal system
- Infection, inflammation & metabolism
Supported by methodological and engineering teams, the research teams aim to better characterize healthy and pathological states of the nervous, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems, and define new diagnostic and/or therapeutic strategies.
Focus on research teams working in the field of AI/Health
CRMBM teams develop artificial intelligence strategies from acquisition to image processing for the central nervous, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems:
- Development of AI methods in brain imaging to accelerate image acquisition by subsampling and inferring high-resolution images from low-resolution images
- Development of a deep learning segmentation tool for mouse brains, based on U-Net networks.
- Development of AI methods for predicting the evolution of cardiovascular pathologies (hybrid digital twins, statistical and machine learning approaches).
- Segmentation of medical images using deep learning with automatic quality control in cardiac MRI.
- Neural networks dedicated to the segmentation of individual muscles on an MRI image
- Neural networks dedicated to segmentation of abdominal wall muscles
