The Medical Imaging Processing Lab (LaPIM) is a research lab that belongs to the CEMSC³ and its based at the Centro Universitario de Imagenes Médicas (CEUNIM) at Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSAM) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, led by Dr Martin Belzunce. Our work focuses on image processing with applications to medical imaging problems. Specific areas of research interest include PET and MRI for brain imaging, as well as MRI and CT for musculoskeletal applications.
Sol Cataldo and Martín Belzunce presented their research at the ISMRM 2025 Annual Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. Their presentation, titled “Cerebral Hypoperfusion and Vascular Impairment in Long COVID Patients with Cognitive Symptoms”, explored cerebral blood flow alterations using ASL MRI to investigate the vascular basis of cognitive dysfunction in post-COVID patients.
We are currently seeking doctoral fellows to join the laboratory. If you are interested in applying, please get in touch.
The project, ‘Saliva and brain imaging biomarkers for long-COVID effects on mental health,’ designed in collaboration with Marcela Brocco, has been awarded an “IBRO-Wellcome Neuroscience Capacity Accelerator for Mental Health” Grant.
German Balerdi successfully defended his final project in biomedical engineering! Congratulations, German!
