Specific technics and methods
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or neuroimaging, is a non-invasive technique to better understand and visualize the cortex and the white matter in vivo.
Using a 3 Tesla scanner (General Electric), the pediatric radiology department of the Necker hospital has developed advanced multimodal neuroimaging sequences. These brain MRI sequences can be used to :
>> measure cerebral blood flow at rest with perfusion sequences using arterial spin labeling (ASL),
>> visualize and analyze with high resolution brain anatomical structure and brain changes using structural sequences (3D T1-weighted, T2-weighted, Cube T1, Cube T2, T2 FLAIR),
>> visualize and analyze white matter pathways using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI),
>> measure synaptic activity at rest, during a particular task or combined with electroencephalography to localize the brain activity (respectively rsfMRI, task-fMRI or EEG-rsfMRI).
These multimodal imaging sequences also allow longitudinal measurements using biomarkers and comparisons between groups or population.

Imagine-Paris Descartes bioinformatics platform develops bioinformatic tools for data integration and interpretation.
The amount of data generated by next generation sequencing technologies created new challenging issues to analyze, integrate and visualize relevant information. To reach this goal, the bioinformatics platform has developed an original framework to analyze resequencing projects: the Polyweb Suit.
Polyweb Suit
Polyweb is an in-house software for:
•processing data from exome sequencing (PolyExome)•processing data from targeted sequencing (PolyDiag)•analyzing variants and exploring the “DéjàVu” database (PolyDéjàVu)•performing linkage studies (PolyLinkage)•managing NGS projects (PolyProject)•NGS resequencing run (PolyRun)
