*************************************************************************** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION ************************************************************************** Joint MICCAI Workshops on Computation and Visualization in Intravascular Imaging (CVII) and Computer Assisted Stenting (STENT) http://campar.in.tum.de/STENT2014/WebHome September 14, 2014, Boston, US A one-day workshop held in conjunction with MICCAI 2014 Important Dates ---------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract Submission Deadline: May 26, 2014 Full Paper Submission Deadline: June 2, 2014 Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2014 Workshop: September 14, 2014 This workshop brings together two very successful MICCAI-Workshop series (CVII and STENT) in order to form a common event on technological and scientific research concerned with endovascular procedures. A continuous communication between surgeons/physicians and scientific and industrial researchers is crucial for bringing forward innovative solutions to the clinics: we aim to provide an interchange platform for medical experts and technological researchers concerned with all aspects of endovascular interventions. The workshop will focus on imaging, treatment and computed assisted technological advances in diagnostic and intraoperative imaging. Such techniques offer increasingly useful information regarding vascular anatomy and function and are poised to have dramatic impact on the diagnosis, analysis, modeling, and treatment of vascular diseases. Relevant topics for the workshop include (but are not limited to): CVII * Atherosclerotic plaque image analysis and characterization * Quantification of vascular morphology and function * Tissue classification of intravascular images * Computer-aided diagnosis of vascular disease * Segmentation and anatomic modeling from IVUS, OCT, CTA, X-ray angiography, IVMR, … * Image-based biomechanical models of vascular anatomy and function * Registration of intravascular images * Image processing methods for intravascular contrast agent applications * Hemodynamic image-based modeling * Percutaneous imaging/intervention, including IVUS, OCT and IVMR. STENT * Imaging for struts/stent detection, reconstruction, and assessment * Computer-aided interventions for stenting procedures * Detection and visualization of fluid dynamic changes induced by stents * Computer-aided diagnosis of post-deployment diseases (neo-intima growth, stent malposition) * Planning and navigation of vascular treatments * Segmentation, registration and anatomic modeling of vascular images * Image-based biomechanical and hemodynamic models of stents, vascular anatomy, and function * Analysis and improvement of stent design * Virtual stenting and virtual deployment * Monitoring and follow-up for stent implants Workshop Organizers Gozde Unal (Sabanci University) Petia Radeva (University of Barcelona) Amin Katouzian (Technical University of Munich) Maria A.
