WBIR 2022 Awards
A committee of three experts: Prof. Nassir Navab (chair), Dr. Wolfgang Wein and Prof. Maria Vakalopoulou selected the best scientific paper under all accepted works WBIR. They took into consideration both the quality of the written manuscript as well as the presentation. The winner was
Anton François et al (University Paris Decartes, France)
- Weighted Metamorphosis for registration of images with different topology
The two runner-ups where
Samuel Joutard et al (King’s College London, London) A multi-organ point cloud registration algorithm for abdominal CT registration
and
Ubaldo Ramon Julvez et al (University of Zaragoza) LDDMM meets GANs: Generative Adversarial Networks for diffeomorphic registration
We congratulate all winners for their achievements.
In addition, we awarded an audience prize for which all participants could cast one vote each: The winner was
Andreas Smolders: et al.: (Paul Scherrer Institute, Villingen Switzerland)
- Deformable Image Registration uncertainty quantification using deep learning for dose accumulation in adaptive proton therapy
The runner up was: Julia Andresen et al (University of Lübeck): Unsupervised Non-Correspondence Detection in Medical Images Using an Image Registration Convolutional Neural Network
Wolfgang Wein |
BioWolfgang Wein has worked in medical image computing research for the last 19 years, conducting numerous projects from early feasibility to product implementation. He received his doctoral degree in 2007 from Prof. Navab at the group for Computer Aided Medical Procedures (CAMP) at TU Munich, Germany. From 2006-2010 he worked as a research scientist at Siemens Corporate Research in Princeton, NJ USA, on various interventional navigation and medical imaging projects. In 2012, he founded the R&D lab ImFusion in Munich, which aids medical device companies around the world to create innovation. He also has a teaching assignment at TU Munich. |

Maria Vakalopoulou |
BioMaria Vakalopoulou is an Assistant Professor at MICS laboratory of CentraleSupelec, University Paris-Saclay, Paris, France. She is also the team lead of the βiomathematics group of MICS laboratory. Her research is focusing on machine and deep learning with applications on health care and in particular medical image analysis. She is currently working on the topics of medical image registration and classification for medical images of different scales (histopathology, CT, MRI) in close collaboration with clinicians towards development of robust algorithms for prognosis, diagnosis and disease modeling focusing on breast and lung cancer as well as different interstitial lung diseases. Her research has been published in international journals and conferences (Lancet Oncology, Radiology, European Radiology, Medical Image Analysis, MICCAI). Moreover, she has served as an area chair for CVPR 2021, 2022, MICCAI 2022 and MIDL 2020 and 2021 conferences and as a guest editor in the CVIU journal of Elsevier. |
