Radiomics Theory And Practice, April 23-25, 2025, Paris
For those who are interested, we organize a 3-day radiomics and LIFEx training session in April 2025 in Paris, France.
Space is limited to 20 participants on site as we will have a lot of hand-on sessions, so if you are willing to participate, please register early.
This year, we are opening the morning lectures to 50 virtual seats. Please let us know if you are interested (lectures +/- practical sessions). Practical sessions will be available for on-site attendees only.

LIFEx v7.6.0 now available
LIFEx reads DICOM images locally or over a network using a DICOM browser and includes a powerful 3D reconstruction-based slice viewer. Volume of interest (VOI) can be either imported from previously created files or drawn and manipulated using LIFEx. Results are exported in Excel format files. LIFEx runs on Windows, MacOs and Linux. It is distributed with examples and includes a tutorial. User support is offered. Users can optionally contribute to the gathering of index values in different tissue types and different images as a public data bank of reference values is currently being built and integrated to the software for assisting the users with the interpretation of their results.
