CALL FOR PAPERS
Over the last decade interest in diffusion MRI has exploded. The
technique provides a unique insight into the microstructure of living
tissue and enables in-vivo connectivity mapping of the brain.
Microstructural changes are often the earliest signs of disease or
tissue regeneration, as well as being manifestation of physiological
processes in normal tissue functioning. Tractography and connectivity
mapping give fundamental new insights in neuroscience and
neuroanatomy. The variety of clinical applications is expanding
rapidly and includes detection of lesions and damaged tissue,
prognosis of functional impairment and neurosurgical planning.
Computational techniques are key to the continued success and
development of diffusion MRI and to its widespread transfer into the
clinic. New processing methods are essential for addressing issues at
each stage of the diffusion MRI pipeline: acquisition, reconstruction,
modeling and model fitting, image processing, fiber tracking,
connectivity mapping, visualization, group studies and inference. The
workshop will give a snapshot of the current state of the art.
WORKSHOP TOPICS
Full-length papers are invited in (but not limited to) the following
areas:
• Acquisition protocol design
• High angular resolution and general q-space sampling techniques
• Biophysical models
• Numerical simulation of diffusion process
• Tissue microstructure imaging
• Tractography and connectivity mapping
• Network analysis
• Registration, segmentation, and classification
• Visualization
• Validation
• Post-processing
• Group studies and statistical analysis
• Clinical applications
Papers accepted at the main conference may not be double-submitted to
CDMRI’10.
