Johan H.C. (Hans) Reiber, Ph.D. received his M.Sc. EE-degree from the Delft University of Technology in 1971 and his Ph.D. in 1976 from Stanford University , USA . In 1977, he founded the Division of Image Processing (LKEB) at the Thoraxcenter in Rotterdam , and continued these activities from 1990 at the Department of Radiology, Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) in the Netherlands. The LKEB specializes in the R&D of automated contour detection (segmentation) and analysis techniques in medical images in various application areas. Since 1995 he is Professor of Medical Image Processing at the LUMC and at the Interuniversity Cardiology Institute of the Netherlands (ICIN). In addition, he is the Senior Research Director at Medis medical imaging systems B.V., also in Leiden, where such specialized analytical software is being developed in close collaboration with the LKEB. In 2000 he became a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research interests include (knowledge guided) image processing and its clinical applications. He has (co) authored more than 500 scientific publications and was (co) editor of 15 books. He is editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging and on the editorial board of several international journals.

Stefan Klein started in May 2008 as a PostDoc in the BIGR group. He works mainly on topics related to medical image registration. In 2002, Stefan received his MSc degree at the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands, at the faculty of mechanical engineering. His MSc-project was on the segmentation of fingerprint images, using hidden Markov models. From 2003-2008 he worked as a PhD student on the subject of medical image registration at the Image Sciences Institute, UMC Utrecht, the Netherlands. His PhD thesis was entitled “Optimisation methods for medical image registration”. Stefan is, together with Marius Staring, responsible for the development of elastix, a publicly available software package for image registration, based on the Insight Segmentation & Registration Toolkit.

After teaching physics for some years he worked on signal analysis of multichannel recorded EMG during human movement at the Laboratory of Kinesiology of Leiden university. In 1989 he finished his Ph.D. thesis on medical image analysis at the Department of Medical Physics and Biophysics of the University of Nijmegen. Currently, he is doing research at the Department of Radiology of the St. Radboud University Hospital in Nijmegen on digital mammography.Nico can be reached at n.karssemeijer@rad.umcn.nlPowered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.4
Ivana Isgum graduated in Mathematics at the University of Zagreb, Croatia in 1999. The same year she was employed as a scientific software engineer at Silicon Biomedical Instruments BV, The Netherlands. In 2001 she became a PhD student at the Image Sciences Institute. Her PhD degree was obtained in 2007 with a thesis entitled “Computer-aided detection and quantification of arterial calcifications with CT”. She then worked for a year as a PostDoc at the Laboratory for Clinical and Experimental Image Processing in Leiden University Medical Center on the detection of atherosclerotic carotid plaque from combined magnetic resonance angiography and vessel wall images. She is currently employed as a PostDoc in the Computer-aided diagnosis group. Ivana can be reached at ivana@isi.uu.nl.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.4
Robin Langerak graduated with M.Sc. degree in computer science in 2003 from Universteit Utrecht. In 2004, he joined TU Delft as PhD researcher and worked in computer aided design.

Frans M. Vos (1969) obtained his Masters degree in medical informatics as well as in computer science at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 1993. He was a visiting scientist at Yale University, New Haven, in 1992. In 1998 he obtained the Ph.D. degree at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. After that he was a research fellow with the Pattern Recognition Group of Delft University of Technology from 1998 – 2003. He became assistant professor in the Quantitative Imaging Group of Delft University of Technology in 2003. Since 2000 he is also a staff member with the Department of Radiology at the Academic Medical Center Amsterdam. His main research interests are in medical image processing and visualization, particularly focussing on virtual colonoscopy, diffusion tensor imaging and statistical shape analysis.

Alexander Broersen received his M.Sc. degree in computer science at the University of Twente in 2003. In the next year, he joined the visualization and 3D user interfaces theme of the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam. There he performed his Ph.D. research on “Feature visualization in large scale imaging mass spectrometry data” which he defended at Eindhoven University of Technology. In 2008, he started as a post-doctoral researcher at the laboratory for clinical and experimental image processing at the Leiden University Medical Center. His work involves the automatic diagnostic vascular analysis by comparing computed tomography angiography with corresponding intravascular ultrasound datasets.

Bram Platel was born on the 6th of Februari 1978 in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. He graduated from the VWO at the Jacob Roelandslyceum in Boxtel in 1996. In the same year he started studying Mechanical Engineering at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. After completing the first year foundation course he switched to the brand new Biomedical Engineering study from which he graduated (and received the M.Sc. degree cum laude) in 2002. His graduation project involved research in multiscale hierarchical segmentation of images, which was carried out within the Biomedical Image Analysis group at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. This work laid the foundation of his PhD-studies which were carried out within the Deep Structure, Singularities and Computer Vision project funded by the European Union. After his PhD Bram was offered a job at the academic hospital of Maastricht as project leader of the new Image Guided Surgery group. This new group operates as a part of the Biomedical Engineering department. The group’s research focuses on image analysis for neurosurgical procedures like tumor resection, deep brain stimulation and spinal surgery.

She joined then the LKEB-group at the Leiden University Medical Center in 1999 for a 2-year post-doc position and was then offered the leadership of the neuro-image analysis section within the LKEB in 2001. Faiza worked as an assistant professor at the LKEB and the department of neuro-radiology until June 2007 and here main research interests included multi-modal image fusion, automatic image segmentation and image registration. Faiza was involved in several large clinical studies using neuro-MR imaging and supervised and co-supervised several MSc and PhD students. Her main clinical interests were: Alzheimer disease, vascular dementia, normal and abnormal aging brain, Multiple slcerosis, NPSLE and migraine. In 2007, she joined Toshiba Medical Systems Europe as a senior clinical scientist and is currently supporting the scientific activities of European Toshiba MR users. She also acts as an interface to Toshiba R&D Japan and TMRU in the USA. Her research interests include non-contrast enhanced MR angiography, total body MR imaging and body diffusion.
