2008 MICCAI Workshop on Computational Diffusion MRI Posted By: David Kennedy - Mar 24, 2008Tool/Resource: NITRC Community CALL FOR PAPERS AND PARTICIPATION 2008 MICCAI Workshop on Computational Diffusion MRI Wednesday, September 10, 2008, 8am to 5pm The Kimmel Center at New York University, New York, NY, USA Website: http://picsl.upenn.edu/cdmri08 Printable flyer: http://picsl.upenn.edu/cdmri08/flyer.pdf Paper submission deadline: May 12, 2008 CALL FOR PAPERS Over the last decade interest in diffusion MRI has exploded. The technique provides a unique insight into the microstructure of living tissue and enables in-vivo connectivity mapping of the brain. Microstructural changes are often the earliest signs of disease or tissue regeneration. Tractography and connectivity mapping give fundamental new insights in neuroscience and neuroanatomy. The variety of clinical applications is expanding rapidly and includes detection of lesions and damaged tissue, prognosis of functional impairment and neurosurgical planning. Computational techniques are key to the continued success and development of diffusion MRI and to its widespread transfer into the clinic. New processing methods are essential for addressing issues at each stage of the diffusion MRI pipeline: acquisition, reconstruction, modeling and model fitting, image processing, fiber tracking, connectivity mapping, visualization, group studies and inference. The workshop will give a snapshot of the current state of the art. The organizers encourage submissions of papers in areas including, but not limited to, the following topics: - Acquisition design - High angular resolution techniques - Biophysical models - The microstructure of diffusion in tissue - Tractography and connectivity mapping - Network analysis - Registration and segmentation - Visualization - Validation - Post-processing - Group studies and statistical analysis - Clinical applications ORGANIZERS Daniel Alexander, University College London James Gee, University of Pennsylvania Ross Whitaker, University of Utah IMPORTANT DATES May 12, 2008: Paper Submission Jul 1, 2008: Notification of Acceptance Aug 18, 2008: Camera-Ready Papers Sep 10, 2008: Workshop (8am to 5pm) SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers submitted to the workshop should conform to the MICCAI formatting instructions, with few minor modifications explained below: * Papers should be in the LNCS style * Suggested length is 8 pages, maximum length is 12 pages * Anonymized for double blind review * Submitted in PDF format * Color illustrations in the PDF are not subject to fees * Papers may be double-submitted to main conference and other workshops Papers can be submitted at any time using the online submission system at http://alliance.seas.upenn.edu/~pauly2/d...
