This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22st Annual Conference on Medical Image Understanding and Analysis, MIUA 2018, held in Southampton, UK, in July 2018.The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on liver analysis, medical image analysis, texture and image analysis, MRI: applications and techniques, segmentation in medical images, CT: learning and planning, ocular imaging analysis, applications of medical image analysis.

The last few years have seen a great increase in the amount of data available to scientists, yet many of the techniques used to analyse this data cannot cope with such large datasets. Therefore, strategies need to be employed as a pre-processing step to reduce the number of objects or measurements whilst retaining important information. Spectral dimensionality reduction is one such tool for the data processing pipeline. Numerous algorithms and improvements have been proposed for the purpose of performing spectral dimensionality reduction, yet there is still no gold standard technique. This book provides a survey and reference aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers, scientists, and engineers in a wide range of disciplines. Dimensionality reduction has proven useful in a wide range of problem domains and so this book will be applicable to anyone with a solid grounding in statistics and computer science seeking to apply spectral dimensionality to their work.
