IPMI 2023
Conference Programme

description: <strong>The Information Processing in Medical Imaging (IPMI) Conference series has a longstanding history and tradition. Since 1969, the conference has taken place on either side of the Atlantic and was organised in Asia for the first time in 2019. IPMI 2023 (www.ipmi2023.org), the twenty-eighth conference in the series, was the first in Latin America. The conference was held from June 18th to 23rd at Huinid Pioneros Hotel in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina.</strong> <strong>Through the years, IPMI became a biennial beacon of foundational computational methods for medical imaging. IPMI's distinctive small-audience format enables extensive discussion time for selected oral presentations. The conference has a retreat-like ambience, which promotes a more intimate exchange and building personal and mentoring relationships across generations from our community.</strong> <strong>IPMI 2023 featured traditional study groups, small groups of delegates who scrutinise manuscripts before their oral presentation. This leads to thorough debates enriching the authors and broader audience. Historically, discussions on each paper kick-start with early career delegates in each study group to elicit inclusive participation. Thus, every session becomes a forum for sharing, encouraging, and challenging new ideas. </strong> <strong>For this year’s edition, we received 240 submissions, of which 169 papers went through the double-blind peer review system being evaluated by at least three reviewers each. Following the reviewing process, each manuscript having at least one weak accept in its reviews was evaluated by two or more members of the Paper Selection Committee and subsequently discussed at the paper selection meeting. Finally, 63 submissions were accepted for publication and presentation at the conference, resulting in a 26% acceptance rate. At the conference, 23 oral and 40 poster presentations were given on topics ranging from classical registration and segmentation to novel machine-learning approaches for self-supervised learning and domain adaptation.</strong> <strong>Three excellent keynote speakers joined us virtually. Prof Gitta Kutyniok (Ludwig Maximilians Universität München), Dr Petar Veličković (DeepMind), and Prof Jong Chul Ye (Korea Advanced Institute of Science &amp; Technology) enlightened us with various talks on the foundations of modern information processing ranging from the mathematics of machine learning to geometric deep learning and diffusion models in inverse problems in imaging. </strong> <strong>The François Erbsmann Prize is awarded every edition to a young scientist of age 35 or below, the first author of a paper, giving their first oral presentation at IPMI. The prize was awarded to one of the 18 eligible oral presenters. Additionally, awards were given for the best poster presentations.</strong> <strong>The IPMI 2023 Organising Team wants to express special gratitude to the Paper Selection Committee and the 186 reviewers who did an outstanding job reviewing submissions, consolidating decisions and designing the programme. We thank Albert Chung, Archana Venkataraman, Diana Mateus, Herve Lombaert, Ipek Oguz, Juan Eugenio Iglesias, Kaleem Siddiqi, Kevin Zhou, and Xavier Pennec, who decided on each paper based on the available reviews and thorough committee discussions. We also thank Andreas Maier, Ipek Oguz and Archana Venkattakaraman for their leadership in organising the Study Groups and all the study group leaders. We also express our gratitude to Haoran Dou, Azade Farshad and Yan Xia for their tireless work as Executive Assistants to the chairs. We are also indebted to Enzo Ferrante and Ariel Curiale for their engagement in IPMI 2023 from its conception in IPMI 2023 and for their support with all the challenges of organising IPMI across the Atlantic. Finally, we are indebted to the team of Dekon Group, particularly to Mustafa Bay, Meltem Çakmak, and Mehmet Eldegez for their organisational support. This conference would not have been possible without the help of such a great team of colleagues. </strong> <strong>One of the defining priorities throughout the organisation was to maximise diversity across career stages, gender and geographical spread in our Organising Committee, Paper Selection Committee, Study Groups, and generally wherever possible. </strong> <strong>We have been delighted to organise IPMI 2023 and hope that the scientific and social activities programme will make this conference an unforgettable experience. We wish that IPMI 2023, surrounded by the Andes mountain range and unique Patagonian lakes and forests, will be an event conducive to scientific exchange and collegial sharing and challenging of ideas, which will contribute to international cooperation, scientific progress and understanding, and to nurturing of the next generation of researchers in information processing in medical imaging.</strong> <strong>General Chairs<br> Alejandro Frangi<br> Marleen de Bruijne </strong> <strong> </strong> <strong>Program Chairs<br> Demian Wassermann<br> Nassir Navab</strong>
