BMVA Symposium: Computer Vision in Cancer

Chairs: Greg Slabaugh & Constantino Carlos Reyes-Aldasoro (City, University of London)

Keynote speakers:

Professor Helen Byrne, (University of Oxford), Professor Nasir Rajpoot (Warwick University), Professor Julia Schabel (King’s College London), Dr Yinyin Yuan (Institute for Cancer Research)

Call for Papers:

This BMVA one-day meeting will present state-of-the-art developments in Computer Vision applied to Cancer Data Analysis.

Recent progress in imaging hardware, acquisition techniques, and algorithmic processing of data have led to advances in detection, diagnosis, staging, treatment, and follow-up in cancer-related clinical workflows, as well as fundamental understanding of cancer modelling and dynamics. Cancer imaging includes varied modalities, and numerous scales including nano, micro, and macro.

This one-day meeting will be dedicated to technical advances that have potential for clinical relevance, and seeks to bring together a collection of recently developed approaches in this domain. We hope the methods presented will inspire future research both from theoretical and practical viewpoints to spur further advances in the field.

The topics include, but are not limited to:

• segmentation in cancer imaging: from cellular structures to cells to lesions to tumours
• tracking of cells in metastasis and migration processes
• multi-modal registration of cancer images
• modelling of cancer cells, tumours or vasculature
• multi-scale cancer modelling
• image-based interventional techniques for cancer treatment
• tissue characterisation from images
• histopathology image analysis

Submission Deadline:

All those interested in presenting at this meeting are invited to submit a summary of their talk

Invitation of Papers:

Selected papers of the meeting will be invited to submit an extended version to be included in a special issue of IET Computer Vision.
