L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi és el desenvolupament d'un nou mètode de segmentació totalment automàtic capaç de mesurar amb precisió el volum cerebral en imatges de pacients d'EM amb lesions. El mètode que hem proposat ...
Roura Pérez, Eloy (Fecha de defensa: 2016-07-01)
In this thesis, we have focused on the image pre-processing in order to enhance the image information. The main aspects of this enhancement rely on removing any image noise and correcting any intensity bias induced by the ...
Kushibar, Kaisar (Fecha de defensa: 2020-07-20)
This PhD thesis focuses on the development of deep learning based methods for accurate segmentation of the sub-cortical brain structures from MRI. First, we have proposed a 2.5D CNN architecture that combines convolutional ...

The quantification of cerebral atrophy is fundamental in neuroinformatics since it permits diagnosing brain diseases, assessing their progression, and determining the effectiveness of novel treatments to counteract them. ...
Salem, Mostafa (Fecha de defensa: 2020-02-13)
This thesis is focused on developing novel and fully automated methods for the detection of new multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). First, we proposed a fully automated ...
Clèrigues Garcia, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 2023-02-13)
This PhD thesis focuses on improving the extraction of neuroimage markers for the prognosis and outcome prediction of neurological pathologies such as ischemic stroke, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). ...

Background. Intellectual disability is a neurodevelopment disorder affecting intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior. The increase of life expectancy of this population leads to an increase of mental health pathologies ...
Ramió i Torrentà, Lluís (Fecha de defensa: 2014-10-23)
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system with unknown, autoimmune mechanism, and a progressive and disabling course. Lipid-specific oligoclonal IgM bands in cerebrospinal fluid ...
Comajoan von Arend, Pau (Fecha de defensa: 2019-12-18)
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is currently the only FDA-approved drug for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke. However, the application of this therapy is limited to <5-7% of patients due to the ...
Montero Camacho, Mario Raul (Fecha de defensa: 2018-05-18)
A number of studies show that the prevalence of ASD is rising in alarming numbers, currently reaching 1 in every 68 people. The most effective approach 2/2 to improve the lives of these children is to support, train and ...
Puig Parnau, Irene (Fecha de defensa: 2021-06-01)
Electrical stimulation of deep brain areas has been suggested as a novel approach to restore memory circuits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Previous studies from our group have demonstrated that rewarding stimulation of the ...
Fàbregas Casas, Laura (Fecha de defensa: 2014-06-16)
The effects of stress on the nervous system, the endocrine system and especially on the immune system have generated the hypothesis that it might be a relevant factor in the evolution of multiple sclerosis (MS). The exposure ...
