NCI-MICCAI Workshop: COMPUTATIONAL CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT AND PRECISION MEDICINE IN BRAIN CANCER: THE VALUE OF OPEN SCIENCE GRAND CHALLENGES
Sunday, September 14, 2014 - 8:00 am - 12:00 PM, Harvard medical School, Boston
The purpose of the workshop is to consider basic requirements and current resources for open science development of systems in support of computational precision medicine in brain tumor diagnosis and treatment planning.
Topics of interest include open science approach to validation and bench marking of algorithms in quantitative imaging, biomedical informatics and their integration, and related open archives and cloud-based computing. We will consider the role of computational challenge competitions though MICCAI in benchmarking and validation of tools and algorithms for precision medicine and clinical decision support in brain tumor diagnosis and therapy.
Confirmed speakers include:
- David Gutman (Emory)
- Allen Tannenbaum (Stony Brook)
- Rivka Colen (MD Anderson)
- Hugo Aerts (Dana Farber)
- Simon Mercer (Microsoft Research)
- John Freymann (Fredrick National Laboratory for Cancer Research)
- Jayashree Kalpathy-Cramer (MGH)
The Brain workshop will be followed by Brain Tumor Digital Pathology and Imaging Challenges in the afternoon. Test phase of these challenges will be completed prior to the meeting on Aug 2-8. The afternoon challenge sessions will include presentations by challenge organizers and top winners of each challenge.
A detailed agenda will be posted by Aug 1Under construction. Please visit back.
