Radiographic Imaging and Tomography (RadIT)

Radiographic Imaging and Tomography (RadIT)

15-19, July 2024
Toulouse, France 

RadIT showcases state-of-the-art imaging technologies and applications using different forms of ionizing radiation, including X-rays, gamma-rays, energetic electrons, protons, neutrons, muons and positrons and includes synergies with optical, ultrasound and MRI modalities.

Radiographic imaging and tomography modalities have demonstrated significant advantages over imaging and tomography using visible light but share many of their technologies, such as detectors, optics and image processing algorithms.

RadIT topics will include those common technologies as well as ionizing radiation sources, novel data collection techniques, radiation detectors, physical models for data interpretation, the use of data-driven methods such as machine learning and AI and a wide range of applications that essentially cover all phases of matter; namely, solid, liquid, gas and plasma. 

RadIT provides a unique interdisciplinary forum to bring together pioneers, leading experts and new explorers, and jointly advance imaging and tomography under extremely broad contexts, including the synergies among visible light, ionizing radiation and other forms of probes (e.g., ultrasound, magnetic resonances).

Reality Labs Research at Meta, USA

Holographic Displays: Past, Present and Future

Holograms have captured the public imagination since their first media representation in Star Wars in 1977. Although fiction, the idea of glowing, 3D projections is based on real-world holographic display technology, which can create 3D image content by manipulating the wave properties of light. However, in practice, the image quality of experimental holograms has significantly lagged traditional displays until recently. What changed? This talk will delve into how hardware improvements met ideas from machine learning to spark a new wave of research in holographic displays. We’ll take a critical look at what this research has achieved, discuss open problems and explore the potential of holographic technology to create head-mounted displays with a glasses-form factor.

About the Speaker

Grace Kuo is a research scientist in the Display Systems Research team at Meta where she works on novel display and imaging technology for virtual and augmented reality. She is particularly interested in the joint design of hardware and algorithms for imaging systems, and her work spans optics, optimization, signal processing and machine learning. Grace’s recent work on “Flamera,” a light-field camera for virtual reality passthrough, won Best-in-Show at the SIGGRAPH Emerging Technology showcase and received wide-spread positive press coverage from venues like Forbes and UploadVR. Grace earned her BS at Washington University in St. Louis and her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, advised by Dr. Laura Waller and Dr. Ren Ng.

The Scientific Magic of Holography: From Broken Promise to Breakthroughs in Biomedical Imaging

Holography has evolved from a promising but illusory concept to a transformative tool in biomedical imaging. Leveraging intrinsic features of digital holography, it enables single cell analysis, quantitative phase imaging and stain-free microscopy. This breakthrough, enhanced by artificial intelligence, opens new frontiers in diagnosis and therapy with intelligent flow-cytometers through 3D imaging.

About the Speaker

Pietro Ferraro is Director of Research at the CNR Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems (ISASI), Italy. He served as ISASI Director from 2014 to 2019 and President of CNR Research Area in Pozzuoli from 2012 to 2019. Ferraro has held leadership roles in various organizations and worked as Principal Investigator with Alenia Aeronautics from 1988 to 1993. His research spans holography, microscopy, micro-nanostructures, non-destructive testing and optical sensors, with over 350 journal papers, 20,000 citations and 14 patents. A Fellow of both Optica and SPIE, he received the SPIE Gabor Award and served on the Scientific and Technical Committee for the Italian Space Agency from 2018 to 2023.
