The first paper identified a method to improve diagnosis, response to medication and evolution of multiple sclerosis. It was presented by one of his students, Phelipi Schuck, a Master’s student in Electrical Engineering program.

The other two papers were presented as a poster. The second consists of an experimental study on the quality of PET / MR images using PET data exclusively. Lastly, the third, consists of a computer simulation to estimate dose in neighboring tissues in an iodotherapy treatment. It was carried out by Electrical Engineering student, Nicollas Cavedini.
