MICCAI Workshop on Perinatal, Preterm and Paediatric Image analysis (PIPPI)

The PIPPI 2018 workshop proceedings have been published in a joint LNCS workshop proceedings volume here!

The FIFI 2017 workshop proceedings have been published in a joint LNCS workshop proceedings volume here!

The PIPPI 2016 workshop was successfully held on Friday 21st October 2016. For more information, see here!

Objectives

The application of sophisticated analysis tools to fetal, infant and paediatric imaging data is of interest to a substantial proportion of the MICCAI community. The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the MICCAI community to discuss the challenges of image analysis techniques as applied to the preterm, perinatal and paediatric setting. Advanced medical image analysis allows the detailed scientific study of conditions such as prematurity and the study of both normal singleton and twin development in addition to less common conditions unique to childhood. This workshop will bring together methods and experience from researchers and authors working on these younger cohorts and will provide a forum for the open discussion of advanced image analysis approaches focused on the analysis of growth and development in the fetal, preterm and paediatric period.

Best Presentation Prize 2018

2018's' best presentation prize, a collection of Pippi Longstocking short stories was awarded to Ana Namburete for her work entitiled: Construction of a Fetal Brain Ultrasound Atlas using Multi-channel Groupwise Registration.





Best Presentation Prize 2017

2017's' best presentation prize, a collection of Fifi Brindacier short stories was awarded to Ana Namburete for her work entitiled: Robust Regression of Brain Maturation from 3D Fetal Neurosonography using CRNs.




Best Presentation Prize 2016

PIPPI 2016 was held successfully on 21st October 2016. The best presentation prize, a collection of Pippi short stories, was awarded by the session chairs to Ernst Schwartz for his work entitled: Spatio-Temporal Modelling of Laminar Neurodevelopment from Fetal MRI.





Topics of interest

Potential methods will cover the full scope of medical image analysis, but there must be an application to younger cohorts or to the long term outcomes of perinatal conditions.

Topics may include:
- Image Registration, Segmentation or Classification
- Image Reconstruction
- Atlas Construction
- Diffusion Imaging (including tractography applications)
- Longitudinal and Cross-sectional Studies
- Advanced structural imaging (e.g. advanced DWI or g-ratio analysis)
- Advanced functional imaging (e.g. network-based analysis)
- Fetal and/or placental image analysis
- Cardio-pulmonary Image analysis
- Abdominal Imaging
- Measurement of long-term cognitive outcome
- Correlation of imaging biomarkers with functional measurements
