DescriptionInterest in quantitative image analysis and visualization in healthcare, from population-level academic research studies to patient-specific analysis has grown precipitously in the recent past. While applications to these tools for large-scale research have found significant support from the research community developing these tools, opportunities at smaller scale, especially at the clinical level where most healthcare effort and research is executed, have been extremely limited. Tools appropriate at the population scale are generally inaccessible to these communities, while their potential value has exploded. Interest and awareness of these tools has never been higher, as physicians and researchers have recognized how HPC and visualization can complement and even drive their own work. Lines of communication between these intersecting fields, however, have been extremely limited, stifling engagement and deployment of the most advanced imaging analysis and technology for healthcare research and clinical practice. Our workshop will bring together these disparate communities to engage on problems and solutions encountered in the practice of image analysis and visualization in healthcare. We will use this joint collaborative development to specifically address the needs of both communities. Thought leaders from across the aisle divide will come together to discuss problems where HPC, imaging analysis, and visualization can dramatically impact patient care. In the afternoon, we will invite proposals for lightning talks on a key technology, tool, or application involving medical image analysis and visualization together with an interactive demonstration of that technology. Submissions will be linked to the SC16 Visualization Showcase.
