DESCRIPTION:Intravital imaging is a tool for visual assessment of biologic
 al processes. Since it allows to conserve spatial and time resolution of t
 he observed events\, intravital imaging is by far the most convincing meth
 od to track behaviour of different biological structures such as cells or 
 tissues in their physiological environment. Depending on different feature
 s of the observed object (size\, optical density\, localisation depth\, la
 belling)\, various approaches are taken. The first speaker will give an ov
 erview of the different experimental setups. \nAutomated image analysis is
  the process of extracting meaningful information from images\, using comp
 utational methods. The purpose of the second part of the talk is to briefl
 y describe how intravital microscopy data can be visualised and analysed\,
  using some of the most commonly applied image analysis approaches\, such 
 as cell identification\, distance measurements and cell tracking. 3D and 4
 D intravital images of the bone marrow microenvironment will be used as ex
 amples to demonstrate the application and efficiency of such analysis appr
 oaches.\n\nThere will be a small session on the Borysiewicz Biomedical Sci
 ences Fellowship Programme.
