VisAGeS U746 Research Unit


Welcome to the web site of VisAGeS U746 unit

Vision, Action and information manaGement System in health (Vision, Action et Gestion d'Informations en Santé)


VisAGeS - U746 is a research team of the University of Rennes I, jointly affiliated to INSERM (National Institute of Health and Scientific Research) and INRIA (National Institute of Research in Computer Sciences and Automation). VisAGeS belong to the IRISA Institute (UMR CNRS 6074), and is located in Rennes, France on both medical and sciences campus.

Context of the research

VISAGES U746 activities concern the development of new information science algorithms dedicated to the analysis of medical images and their integration in the surgical room. ijprai24.jpg

General Methodological Objectives

VisAGeS - U746 activities are focused on the research and development of new algorithms in medical imaging, information processing and computer assisted intervention in the context of the pathologies of the central nervous system. In this context, we are addressing the general problems of conception of the surgical room of the future, the better understanding of normal and pathological brain organs and systems behavior, at different scales, and the promotion and the support of Virtual Organizations of biomedical actors by means of healthgrid's technologies.

General Application Domains

The medical application objectives are focused on pathologies of the central nervous system, with a particular effort on extraction of new imaging biomarkers for brain pathologies (e.g. Multiple Sclerosis, neuropaediatrics, strokes, psychiatry, …) and in Image Guided Neurosurgery through the integration of new intra-operative sensors and the semantic modeling of surgical procedures. More generally, our application objectives concern Multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, dementia, neuro-degenerative brain diseases, brain vascular diseases, Deep Brain Stimulaiton, and tumor surgery.
