ABSTRACT
icometrix is a spin-off company from the universities and university hospitals from Antwerp and Leuven (Belgium) and is specialized in advanced analysis and quantification of brain MRI and CT scans for patients with Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Traumatic Brain Injury and other neurological disorders. We started in 2011 as academic engineers and have grown the company to around 45 people. During this presentation, I want to highlight what we do, why we do it and some lessons learned along the way.
