About the Workshop
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in pulmonary image analysis and discuss recent advances in this rapidly developing field. The breadth of modalities and the quantity and quality of image data available to study the pulmonary system has increased enormously in the last decade. Recent developments include 4D CT to image lung ventilation and perfusion, hyperpolarized MRI, micro CT for studying the respiratory system in small animals and the increased use of imaging in radiotherapy planning and treatment, to name just a few. We invite papers that deal with all aspects of image analysis of these data, including segmentation, registration, quantification, modeling of the image acquisition process, visualization, validation, statistical modeling, biophysical lung modeling (computational anatomy), deep learning and novel applications.
