11:30 Tutorial on Validation – Assessment in Medical Image Processing for CAS:
Methods and Tools
Wednesday, June 25, 2008; Room Merida

Pierre Jannin, PhD, University of Rennes (F)

This tutorial will introduce the basic knowledge of assessment terminology and methodology, especially in the context of medical image processing for Computer Assisted Surgery. The tutorial will first outline the complexity and diversity of assessment in such clinical context. Tools and classifications will be introduced to manage this complexity. The main components of an assessment study in medical image processing for CAS will be described as well as methods for making easier the design and report of such assessment studies. Main examples will concern image guided surgery.
