Scientific program

December 2, 2020, 12:00 - 18:00 CET
Zoom meeting

  • Before the meeting: The workshop program includes pre-recorded 15 min video presentations of full papers, which the prospective attendees are kindly invited to view prior to the meeting. For each paper you can find links to the videos in the program below.


  • During the meeting: The two keynotes will be delivered live. At the start of each oral session, all authors in the session will present their contributions in 2 min pitches, using a one-slide graphical abstract, followed by a joint discussion of all the session papers. Anytime during the session questions for the presenters can be posted into Zoom Q/A or chat window, upon which the session chair will guide the discussion. In the sessions, where multiple authors will present, please address the questions by the author's name, e.g. "@Stefan: What is the..." or by Paper or Abstract ID number as indicated in the program below, e.g. "@#P12: Please elaborate on ...".

Translating medical imaging research towards real-world clinical applications

Sebastien Ourselin, King's College London


Biography:

Seb Ourselin is Head of the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, King’s College London; dedicated to the development, translation and clinical application of medical imaging, computational modelling, minimally invasive interventions and surgery. In collaboration with Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT), he is leading the establishment of the MedTech Hub, located at St Thomas’ campus. The vision of the MedTech Hub is to create a unique infrastructure that will develop health technologies including AI, medical devices, workforce and operational improvements that will be of global significance.

Previously, he was based at UCL where he formed and led numerous activities including the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering, the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Medical Imaging and Wellcome EPSRC Centre for Surgical and Interventional Sciences.

He is co-founder of Brainminer, an academic spin-out commercialising machine learning algorithms for brain image analysis. Their clinical decision support system for dementia diagnosis, DIADEM, obtained CE marking.

Over the last 15 years, he has raised over £50M as Principal Investigator and has published over 420 articles (over 20,000 citations, h-index 73). He is/was an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, Journal of Medical Imaging, Nature Scientific Reports, and Medical Image Analysis. He has been active in conference organisation (12 international conferences as General or Program Chair) and professional societies (APRS, MICCAI). He was elected Fellow of the MICCAI Society in 2016.

How to make deep learning work in medical image registration, current advances, pitfalls and remaining challenges

Mattias Heinrich, University of Lübeck


Biography:

Mattias Heinrich is Associate Professor for Medical Image Analysis at the Institute of Medical Informatics at the University of Lübeck. He leads a group on Medical Deep Learning with 8 researchers and enjoys teaching (under)graduate students how to implement solutions to vision problems. Since starting his doctorate in 2009 with Julia Schnabel at the University of Oxford, his passion is medical image registration. He co-organised WBIR 2016 in Las Vegas, the tutorial Learn2Reg at MICCAI 2019 and a multi-task registration challenge at MICCAI 2020. In 2021 he will be co-chair of MIDL in Lübeck.

He and his team strive to push the boundaries of medical image registration and improve its capabilities for clinical applications as well as develop novel theoretical concepts. In 2011 he won the prestigious MICCAI Young Scientist Award for MIND for multimodal registration. His work on large-displacement discrete registration (deeds) led to the 1st place in the EMPIRE10 challenge. To date, he has published 16 MICCAI papers and more than 25 journal articles (many of them in MedIA and TMI with >2500 citations and an h-index of 23). As principal investigator, he has acquired multiple competitive grants (1.7M€ over the last 5 years) for basic research projects mostly involving machine learning and image registration. He is currently looking for new talents to join his group.
