Aims and Scope

The first workshop on intravascular imaging, CVII, was held on October 6 th , 2006, in conjunction with MICCAI 2006, Copenhagen , Denmark ( CVII 2006). This will be the second in the series with the aim of bringing together researchers in the field of intravascular imaging and present state-of-the-art techniques in computer vision and image processing of intravascular images. Technological advances in intravascular imaging offer increasingly useful information regarding vascular anatomy and function and are poised to have dramatic impact on the diagnosis, analysis, modeling, and treatment of vascular diseases. Computer vision techniques designed to analyze intravascular images for anatomic modeling, simulation, visualization, tissue classification, and the assessment of interventional procedures are therefore playing an important role and are currently receiving significant interest. We invite submission of papers presenting new techniques for any aspect of computational intravascular image analysis and processing. Relevant topics for the workshop include (but are not limited to):
 

• Atherosclerotic plaque image analysis, tissue characterization
• Segmentation and anatomic modeling from CTA, IVUS, OCT, IVMR,..
• Image-based biomechanical models of vascular anatomy and function
• Registration and fusion of intravascular images
• Intravascular/cardiac contrast agent image analysis applications
• Hemodynamic image-based modeling
• Quantification of vascular morphology and function
• Computer-aided diagnosis of vascular disease
• Percutaneous imaging/intervention, including IVUS, OCT, IVMR, microCT

Paper submissions are to be made electronically (via email to gozdeunalsabanciuniv.edu) in pdf format. Papers must be submitted in LNCS style, prepared for double-blind review, and may be up to 8 pages, including all references, tables and figures. Please follow the guidelines of MICCAI. Accepted papers will first appear in a Workshop CD. The organizers are working to arrange a Springer LNCS book to include selected and expanded papers from the workshop.

Invited speakers

Stéphane Carlier, MD, PhD, Cordis, Johnson & Johnson , Belgium

Dr. Stéphane Carlier, MD, PhD, Director of Intravascular Imaging & Physiology at the Cardiovascular Research Foundation® and the Center for Interventional Vascular Therapy at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). He also is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at CUMC. A recognized innovator in the field of biomedical engineering, Dr. Carlier previously worked as an interventional cardiologist in the Cardiovascular Centre in Aalst, Belgium, where he was in charge of the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) laboratory. Dr. Carlier also worked in the catheterization laboratory at the Thoraxcentre, Erasmus University of Rotterdam, for 5 years and took part in the pioneering European clinical trials on drug-eluting stents and brachytherapy. Dr. Carlier completed medical school in 1991 at the Free University of Brussels. His internship, residency and cardiology training were performed at the St. Pierre University Hospital, also in Brussels. In 2000, Dr. Carlier defended his thesis on new processing methods of IVUS images for his PhD in bioengineering, which he earned at the Thoraxcentre, Erasmus University of Rotterdam.

Johannes Rieber, MD, Poliklinik University of Munich & Siemens, Germany

Dr. Johannes Rieber completed medical school in University of Munich. He has been in Munich and Radiology Department University of Munich; Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital; Harvard Medical School; Consultant Cardiology, Medizinische Poliklinik University of Munich. He is an Associate Professor in Medicine, University of Munich. His interest areas are cardiac CT and MR, invasive techniques in cardiology, functional measurements in the cathlab, computers in cardiology. He is a member of German Society of Internal Medicine, German Society of Cardiology, European Society of Cardiodiology (Board certified European Cardiologist), Working group on Coronary Flow and Coronary Microcirculation and Intravascular Ultrasound and Working group on Health Technology assessment and decision analysis.
