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 (location details pending)
Workshop Chairs: Clarke (NCI), Farahani (NCI), Jaffe (Boston University)
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.
