This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of the First International Workshop on Data Driven Treatment Response Assessment, DATRA 2018 and the Third International Workshop on Preterm, Perinatal and Paediatric Image Analysis, PIPPI 2018, held in conjunction with the 21st International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2018, in Granada, Spain, in September 2018. The 5 full papers presented at DATRA 2018 and the 12 full papers presented at PIPPI 2018 were carefully reviewed and selected. The DATRA papers cover a wide range of exploring pattern recognition technologies for tackling clinical issues related to the follow-up analysis of medical data with focus on malignancy progression analysis, computer-aided models of treatment response, and anomaly detection in recovery feedback. The PIPPI papers cover topics of advanced image analysis approaches focused on the analysis of growth and development in the fetal, infant and paediatric period.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Perinatal, Preterm and Paediatric Image Analysis, PIPPI 2022, held in conjunction with the 25th International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2022, in Singapore, Singapore, in September 2021. The 10 full papers and 1 short papers presented at PIPPI 2022 were carefully reviewed and selected from 12 submissions. PIPPI 2022 workshop complements the main MICCAI conference by providing a focused discussion of perinatal and paediatric image analysis, including the application of sophisticated analysis tools to fetal, neonatal and paediatric imaging data.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Uncertainty for Safe Utilization of Machine Learning in Medical Imaging, UNSURE 2021, and the 6th International Workshop on Preterm, Perinatal and Paediatric Image Analysis, PIPPI 2021, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2021. The conference was planned to take place in Strasbourg, France, but was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.For UNSURE 2021, 13 papers from 18 submissions were accepted for publication. They focus on developing awareness and encouraging research in the field of uncertainty modelling to enable safe implementation of machine learning tools in the clinical world. PIPPI 2021 accepted 14 papers from the 18 submissions received. The workshop aims to bring together methods and experience from researchers and authors working on these younger cohorts and provides a forum for the open discussion of advanced image analysis approaches focused on the analysis of growth and development in the fetal, infant and paediatric period.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Advances in Simplifying Medical UltraSound, ASMUS 2020, and the 5th International Workshop on Perinatal, Preterm and Paediatric Image Analysis, PIPPI 2020, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2020, the 23rd International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention. The conference was planned to take place in Lima, Peru, but changed to an online event due to the Coronavirus pandemic. For ASMUS 2020, 19 contributions were accepted from 26 submissions; the 14 contributions from the PIPPI workshop were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections named: diagnosis and measurement; segmentation, captioning and enhancement; localisation and guidance; robotics and skill assessment, and PIPPI 2020.

This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of the First International Workshop on Smart Ultrasound Imaging, SUSI 2019, and the 4th International Workshop on Preterm, Perinatal and Paediatric Image Analysis, PIPPI 2019, held in conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2019, in Shenzhen, China, in October 2019.The 10 full papers presented at SUSI 2019 and the 10 full papers presented at PIPPI 2019 were carefully reviewed and selected. The SUSI papers cover a wide range of medical applications of B-Mode ultrasound, including cardiac (echocardiography), abdominal (liver), fetal, musculoskeletal, and lung. The PIPPI papers cover the detailed scientific study of volumetric growth, myelination and cortical microstructure, placental structure and function.

Data Science, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence are currently some of the most talked-about concepts in industry, government, and society, and yet also the most misunderstood. This book will clarify these concepts and provide you with practical knowledge to apply them. Featuring: - A comprehensive overview of the various fields of application of data science - Case studies from practice to make the described concepts tangible - Practical examples to help you carry out simple data analysis projects The book approaches the topic of data science from several sides. Crucially, it will show you how to build data platforms and apply data science tools and methods. Along the way, it will help you understand - and explain to various stakeholders - how to generate value from these techniques, such as applying data science to help organizations make faster decisions, reduce costs, and open up new markets. Furthermore, it will bring fundamental concepts related to data science to life, including statistics, mathematics, and legal considerations. Finally, the book outlines practical case studies that illustrate how knowledge generated from data is changing various industries over the long term. Contains these current issues: - Mathematics basics: Mathematics for Machine Learning to help you understand and utilize various ML algorithms. - Machine Learning: From statistical to neural and from Transformers and GPT-3 to AutoML, we introduce common frameworks for applying ML in practice - Natural Language Processing: Tools and techniques for gaining insights from text data and developing language technologies - Computer vision: How can we gain insights from images and videos with data science? - Modeling and Simulation: Model the behavior of complex systems, such as the spread of COVID-19, and do a What-If analysis covering different scenarios. - ML and AI in production: How to turn experimentation into a working data science product? - Presenting your results: Essential presentation techniques for data scientists Contributors: Stefan Papp / Wolfgang Weidinger / Katherine Munro / Bernhard Ortner / Annalisa Cadonna / Georg Langs / Roxane Licandro / Mario Meir-Huber / Danko Nikoli? / Zoltan Toth / Barbora Vesela / Rania Wazir / Günther Zauner
