Thoracic
Image Analysis
Workshop

Thoracic malignancies, respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of death worldwide, all of which can be assessed using imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT, PET, and MRI.

We invite submissions covering all aspects of thoracic image analysis for cardiac and pulmonary applications — including image acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, registration, quantification, visualisation, validation, population studies, biophysical modelling, computational anatomy, classical and AI-based approaches, pre-clinical imaging, and other emerging methods.

We strongly encourage submissions of both technically novel methods and translational/clinical applications, giving them equal weight. Well-powered, independent validation studies of AI methods are particularly welcome, even where technical novelty is limited. Live software demonstrations are also much appreciated.

With clinical and industrial involvement in organising and running the workshop, we steer research towards more applied, clinically relevant directions, bringing it closer to bedside implementation and real-world impact. We also leverage MICCAI 2026 being held in the UAE to broaden community perspectives and gain unique regional insights.

This workshop builds on and continues the long history of the highly successful Thoracic Image Analysis (TIA) and Pulmonary Image Analysis (PIA) workshops dating back to 2008.
