Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation And Beyond

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the Third International MICCAI Brainlesion Workshop, BrainLes 2017, as well as the International Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation, BraTS, and White Matter Hyperintensities, WMH, segmentation challenges, which were held jointly at the Medical Image computing for Computer Assisted Intervention Conference, MICCAI, in Quebec City, Canada, in September 2017. The 40 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: brain lesion image analysis; brain tumor image segmentation; and ischemic stroke lesion image segmentation.

This book presents practical development experiences in different areas of data analysis and pattern recognition, focusing on soft computing technologies, clustering and classification algorithms, rough set and fuzzy set theory, evolutionary computations, neural science and neural network systems, image processing, combinatorial pattern matching, social network analysis, audio and video data analysis, data mining in dynamic environments, bioinformatics, hybrid computing, big data analytics and deep learning. It also provides innovative solutions to the challenges in these areas and discusses recent developments.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the International Workshop on Brain Lesion (BrainLes), Brain Tumor Segmentation (BRATS) and Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation (ISLES), held in Munich, Germany, on October 5, 2015, in conjunction with the International Conference on Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2015. The 25 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. They are grouped around the following topics: brain lesion image analysis; brain tumor image segmentation; ischemic stroke lesion image segmentation.

The two-volume set LNCS 11992 and 11993 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 5th International MICCAI Brainlesion Workshop, BrainLes 2019, the International Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenge, the Computational Precision Medicine: Radiology-Pathology Challenge on Brain Tumor Classification (CPM-RadPath) challenge, as well as the tutorial session on Tools Allowing Clinical Translation of Image Computing Algorithms (TACTICAL). These were held jointly at the Medical Image Computing for Computer Assisted Intervention Conference, MICCAI, in Shenzhen, China, in October 2019. The revised selected papers presented in these volumes were organized in the following topical sections: brain lesion image analysis (12 selected papers from 32 submissions); brain tumor image segmentation (57 selected papers from 102 submissions); combined MRI and pathology brain tumor classification (4 selected papers from 5 submissions); tools allowing clinical translation of image computing algorithms (2 selected papers from 3 submissions.)

This book constitutes the First 3D Head and Neck Tumor Segmentation in PET/CT Challenge, HECKTOR 2020, which was held in conjunction with the 23rd International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2020, in Lima, Peru, in October 2020. The challenge took place virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2 full and 8 short papers presented together with an overview paper in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected form numerous submissions. This challenge aims to evaluate and compare the current state-of-the-art methods for automatic head and neck tumor segmentation. In the context of this challenge, a dataset of 204 delineated PET/CT images was made available for training as well as 53 PET/CT images for testing. Various deep learning methods were developed by the participants with excellent results.

This two-volume set LNCS 11383 and 11384 constitutes revised selected papers from the 4th International MICCAI Brainlesion Workshop, BrainLes 2018, as well as the International Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation, BraTS, Ischemic Stroke Lesion Segmentation, ISLES, MR Brain Image Segmentation, MRBrainS18, Computational Precision Medicine, CPM, and Stroke Workshop on Imaging and Treatment Challenges, SWITCH, which were held jointly at the Medical Image Computing for Computer Assisted Intervention Conference, MICCAI, in Granada, Spain, in September 2018. The 92 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: brain lesion image analysis; brain tumor image segmentation; ischemic stroke lesion image segmentation; grand challenge on MR brain segmentation; computational precision medicine; stroke workshop on imaging and treatment challenges.
