4. Now in its 21st year, MICCAI is the preeminent
conference on medical imaging research,
bringing together a wide range of experts
from academia to industry and healthcare
organizations.
NVIDIA was a dedicated and active participant
at MICCAI with hosted workshops, engaging
talks, and a number of accepted papers and
posters.

5. CELEBRATING RESEARCH
MICCAI 2018 boasted a robust scientific
program. With over 1,000 papers submitted,
the 373 accepted papers represented the best
of the best. NVIDIA had a dozen accepted
papers, and 6 poster presentations.
Among the research presented, the team used
an AI technique called generative adversarial
networks (GANs) to generate synthetic images
which can be used to train AI-based medical
imaging systems.

6. NVIDIA DEEP LEARNING INSTITUTE (DLI)
NVIDIA hosted 200 attendees for our workshop
“Deep Learning for Healthcare Image Analysis.”
The two-part workshop featured hands-on,
instructor led training that focused on healthcare
applications including generative networks for
medical imaging and coarse to fine contextual
memory for medical imaging.

9. DLMIA BEST PAPER WINNER
“Automatic Segmentation of Pulmonary Lobes Using
a Progressive Dense V-Network”
Abdullah-Al-Zubaer Irman, Ali Hatamizadeh,
Shilpa Pundi Ananth, Xuaiwei Ding, Demetri
Terzopoulos, Nima Tajbakhsh
Using one NVIDIA Titan XP GPU, their demonstrated
method can segment lung lobes in one forward pass of
the network, with an average run time of 2 seconds.

10. MEDICAL SEGMENTATION DECATHLON
The MSD challenge tests the generalizability of machine
learning algorithms when applied to 10 different
semantic segmentation tasks. The aim is to develop an
algorithm or learning system that can solve each task,
separately, without human interaction.

11. BRATS CHALLENGE WINNER
BraTS (Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation) has
always been focused on the evaluation of
state-of-the-art methods for the segmentation of brain
tumors in multimodal magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) scans.
This year, NVIDIA’s own Andriy Myronenko, Lead
Scientist of Brain Segmentation, won first place in the
challenge from 390 participants.
