The leading conference that explores the science of medical imaging

Call for Papers now open. Plan to submit an abstract.

SPIE Medical Imaging 2021

The conference where information is shared by leading researchers in image processing, physics, computer-aided diagnosis, perception, image-guided procedures, biomedical applications, ultrasound, informatics, radiology and digital pathology. This also includes an increased focus on fast emerging areas like Deep Learning, AI, Machine Learning, and information fusion. Review the conference topics and prepare to submit an abstract. Join colleagues in San Diego.

As we plan for an in-person meeting next year, we recognize that travel conditions are uncertain. SPIE remains committed to providing a forum for information sharing, collaboration, and advancing research that is vital to our community.

If we determine that we are unable to host an onsite meeting, we will host this event online as a Digital Forum. Please join your community and contribute to our shared effort to improve the global condition for everyone. Find our COVID-19 Policy here.

Dr. Richards-Kortum will speak on Biophotonics Solutions to Global Health Challenges.

Her research has been instrumental in improving early detection of cancers and other diseases, especially in low-resources settings. Dr. Richards-Kortum’s research has led to the development of 40 patents. She is author of the textbook Biomedical Engineering for Global Health more than 230 refereed research papers and 11 book chapters. Her teaching programs, research and collaborations have been supported by generous grants from many distinguished health institutes. She was the recipient of the American Institute for Medical and Biomedical Engineering (AIMBE) highest honor, the Pierre Galletti Award.

She is currently working with colleagues and undergraduate students to develop a Nursery of the Future to provide technologies necessary to reduce neonatal death in sub-Saharan Africa to rates equivalent to the United States.

Why medical imaging thrives in San Diego

While San Diego is famous for its beaches and pristine weather, the California coastal city, and the state of California in general, is home to a combination of top-notch universities and world-renowned research institutes known for their science and technology programs. The nearby University of California San Diego and UC San Diego School of Medicine (to name a few) have added to the level of international recognition as a hub for biotech, genomics and healthcare-centric research.

Join your colleagues in San Diego and network with like-minded leaders gathering in one city.
