2012 MICCAI Grand Challenge and Workshop on Multi-Atlas Labeling
===================================================
Acropolis Convention and Exhibition Centre, Nice France            October 5th, 2012 - AM Session

CALL FOR PAPERS

Multi-atlas techniques are becoming increasingly integral to numerous medical image computing approaches and are now expanding into for diverse anatomical regions. The proposed workshop will present a forum to discuss recent advances in multi-atlas techniques. The discussion will focus on new methods/applications of multi-atlas labeling and comparative evaluations of methods on a newly public, manually labeled dataset. First, we will host a discussion on methods, theory, and applications in which traditional MICCAI format papers will be solicited. Second, we will host a challenge on whole-brain labeling which will provide an opportunity to characterize multiple labels, inter-label relationships, and heterogeneous structures (sponsored by NeuroMorphometrics). Submissions will be encouraged using a limited 3-4 page format.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

* Full-length papers are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas:
* Multi-atlas registration
* Statistical methods for label fusion
* Theory and applications with discrete, continuous, or non-traditional label types
* Manifolds theory and applications for voxel, volume, surface, or non-traditional multi-atlas representations
* Atlas design, selection, and exclusion
* Multi-atlas informed and augmented approaches, including shape modeling
* Applications of multi-atlas methods for segmentation and labeling
* Visualization and hypothesis exploration approaches using multi-atlases
Manuscripts may not be accepted at the main conference or submitted to any other MICCAI 2012 workshop.
