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.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart: Atrial Segmentation and LV Quantification Challenges, STACOM 2018, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2018, in Granada, Spain, in September 2018. The 52 revised full workshop papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The topics of the workshop included: cardiac imaging and image processing, machine learning applied to cardiac imaging and image analysis, atlas construction, statistical modelling of cardiac function across different patient populations, cardiac computational physiology, model customization, atlas based functional analysis, ontological schemata for data and results, integrated functional and structural analyses, as well as the pre-clinical and clinical applicability of these methods.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart: Imaging and Modelling Challenges. 7th International Workshop, STACOM 2016, Held in conjunction with MICCAI 2016, Athens, Greece, October 17, 2016, Revised Selected papers The 24 revised full workshop papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics such as cardiac image processing; atlas construction, statistical modelling of cardiac function across different patient populations; cardiac mapping, cardiac computational physiology; model customization; image-based modelling and image-guided interventional procedures; atlas based functional analysis, ontological schemata for data and results; integrated functional and structural analyses; pre-clinical and clinical applicability of the methods described.
