The Second International Workshop on Pulmonary Image Analysis
September 20, 2009 London, UK
About the workshop:
This second edition of the International Workshop on Pulmonary Image
Analysis brings together researchers in pulmonary image analysis to
discuss recent advances in this rapidly developing field. Many imaging
modalities are currently available to study the lungs, including
radiography, CT, PET and PET/CT, MRI and more. We invite papers that
deal with all aspects of image analysis of pulmonary image data,
including segmentation, registration, quantification, computer-aided
detection and diagnosis of lung disease, modeling of the image
acquisition process, visualization, statistical modeling, biophysical
modeling of the lungs (computational anatomy), lung image analysis in
animals, and novel applications.

Image Analysis Challenges:
As a special focus this year, we invite researchers to join in two
comparative studies where algorithms are applied to a common dataset,
and submit a paper to the workshop about their system. The first one
is on the extraction of the pulmonary airway tree from CT data. The
second is on the analysis of size changes in pulmonary nodules from
consecutive CT scans. The results of these challenges will be
presented at the workshop.
See the conference program for more information on the
challenges for this year's workshop.
