Call for Papers

The hippocampus is a structure of acute interest in biomedical imaging research. This interest is driven by the unanswered questions about its precise role in the memory system, its unique involvement in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, its ability to serve as an early biomarker in Alzheimer's disease, and many other factors. The complex folding anatomy of the hippocampus presents challenges for general whole-brain analysis frameworks and calls for dedicated, hippocampus-specific methods. In recent years, many specialized techniques for segmenting, measuring and mapping the hippocampus have been introduced. This workshop will provide a venue for disseminating these exciting new developments and collectively addressing the many challenges still faced by the field.

Important Dates

Workshop Topics

Papers are invited in all areas of research involving hippocampus-focused imaging analysis, including

• automatic and semi-automatic segmentation of the hippocampus
• mapping and segmentation of hippocampal subfields
• geometric modeling and shape analysis
• hippocampus-centric normalization and atlas generation
• validation approaches for manual and automatic techniques
• histology and postmortem imaging analysis
• fusion of information from postmortem, in vivo and animal imaging
• longitudinal and cross-sectional morphometry studies of disease, healthy aging/development
• fMRI and DTI analysis techniques focusing on the hippocampus

Papers submitted to the main conference or other MICCAI workshops may be double-submitted to CAPH-08.
