CALL FOR PAPERS

MICCAI 2010 Workshop on Medical Computer Vision
http://groups.csail.mit.edu/vision/mcv2010/

*** Recognition Techniques and Applications
*** in Medical Imaging

Sept 20th 2010, Beijing, China

===================================================================

This workshop aims at exploring the use of modern image recognition technology in tasks such as semantic anatomy parsing, automatic segmentation and quantification, anomaly detection and categorization, data harvesting, semantic navigation and visualization, data organization and clustering, and general-purpose automatic understanding of medical images. We are especially interested in modern, scalable and efficient algorithms which can be applied e.g. to large longitudinal studies, high-resolution n-dimensional datasets and in hospital-scale databases.

The focus is on principled approaches which go beyond the limits of current model-driven image analysis, are provably efficient and which generalize well to previously unseen images; we are also interested in emerging applications which go beyond the analysis of individual clinical studies and specific diagnostic tasks - a current focus of many computational methods in medical imaging. We encourage the submission of original papers at the interface of computer vision, machine learning, and medical imaging analysis, to push the boundaries of what current medical software applications can deliver in both clinical and research medical settings.
