********************************************************************

PMMIA-2009 is a MICCAI 2009 workshop focusing on the development,
learning and use of probabilistic models for medical image
understanding. The goal of this one day workshop is to foster
discussions among researchers that are interested in innovative and
principled probabilistic models that are stimulated by developments in
other research communities, such as computer vision, machine learning
and biological imaging.

Overview
------------------
Automatically quantifying and generalizing the information that is
latent in medical images enables important work in scientific and
disease-oriented research and in surgical guidance. Furthermore,
probabilistic models are frequently a component of the methodology for
such analyses. This workshop focuses on the development, learning and
use of probabilistic models for medical image understanding. Relevant
topics include (but are not limited to):
  -- impact of prior information in medical analysis,
  -- registration and segmentation of medical scans,
  -- statistical frameworks for functional analysis,
  -- hypothesis testing,
  -- statistical shape modeling,
  -- validating accuracy of probabilistic models,
  -- controlling model complexity and efficient algorithms for
determining optimal solutions by use of these models.

The workshop will consist of oral and poster presentations based on
peer-reviewed papers. Participants are expected to have a basic
understanding of medical image analysis.
