STIR Users' & Developers’ Meeting

Kris Thielemansis a Reader at University College London (UCL) and is an IEEE senior member. He received his Ph.D degree in String Theory from KU Leuven in 1994. Prior to UCL, he has been working as a Researcher at Hammersmith (London, UK) for the Medical Research Council and General Electric, and at King’s College London (KCL). His research interests encompass all aspects of quantitative PET image reconstruction with emphasis on the development of advanced reconstruction techniques for PET and SPECT including motion correction. He developed along with others STIR which has been cited more than 250 times.Charalampos Tsoumpasis a Lecturer in Medical Imaging at the University of Leedssince 2013and Visiting Assistant Professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai since 2014. He received his Ph.D. degree in Parametric Image Reconstruction from Imperial College London in 2008 and worked as a post-doctoral fellow at KCL on PET-MR. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and Fellow of Higher Education Academy. He has contributions in more than 40 peer-reviewed papers, 20 IEEE conference records and two patents with GE Healthcare. His research interests include statistical iterative image reconstruction and acquisition system modelling for more accurate and precise PET and PET-MR imaging.

STIR is Open Source software for use in tomographic imaging. Its aim is to provide a Multi-Platform Object-Oriented framework for all data manipulations in tomographic imaging. Currently, the emphasis is on image reconstruction in emission tomography (PET and SPECT) but other imaging modalities will be added in the future. During this annual meeting experienced users and developers will present their recent work with STIR with technical emphasis on software and algorithmic development. Additional time will be allowed for discussion between the speakers and the audience. 
The event is free but priority will be given to those that have reserved as only limited space is available. For up-to-date information please always check <A HREF="http://stir.sf.net/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">STIR website</A>.
