Call for Participation
Image Analysis for Digital Pathology
One Day BMVA technical meeting in London, UK on 7 December 2009
Chairs: Derek Magee (University of Leeds), Stephen McKenna (University
of Dundee), Nasir Rajpoot (University of Warwick)
Digital image acquisition systems for pathology slides, tissue micro
arrays (TMAs) are rapidly becoming ubiquitous in Pathology labs around
the world. Add to this the availability at affordable prices of
computers that are increasingly more powerful and offer progressively
higher storage capacity. The combination of these two factors is
spurring a revolution in Pathology ultimately bringing it into the
digital information era, with its own benefits, promise, and challenges.
Digital acquisition coupled with traditional ‘omics’ methods result in
massive amounts of data, most of it in the form of images. More than
ever before, there is a need for the image processing and analysis
community and the pathology community to interact in order to harness
the power of these information-rich data.
This meeting aims to provide a platform for:
• Clinical researchers working in different areas of digital pathology
for purposes such as diagnosis, prognosis, drug discovery, and biomarker
discovery;
• Engineers and scientists working in image analysis, computer vision,
machine learning, and pattern recognition.
In addition to inviting speakers at the forefront of this newly emerging
area, we are seeking contributions describing recent work at the
confluence of image computing and digital pathology. Potential topics
include, but are not limited to, system architectures, image coding,
viewing, segmentation, classification, multi-modal registration,
modelling of important structures such as glands etc.
Please submit an extended summary of about one A4-sized page (no longer
than two pages) in length. Send contributions by email attachment (PDF
preferred, 2Mb max please!) to Nasir Rajpoot([log in to unmask]) by
30th October 2009.
