OMIA 2014 - International Workshop on Ophthalmic Medical Image Analysis

Age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are the main causes of human blindness in both developed and developing countries. Therefore, effective and early diagnostic and treatment are highly desired. Currently, medical imaging is one of the main diagnostic and treatment means for eye diseases. Especially with the rapid progress in the development and utilization of relatively new ophthalmic imaging modalities such as spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and their applicability to ophthalmic, neurological, and systemic disease, there is an increasing critical need for ophthalmic image analysis techniques.
Objectives
This workshop aims to bring together scientists, clinicians and students from multiple disciplines in the growing ophthalmic image analysis community, such as electronic engineering, computer science, mathematics, and medicine, to discuss the latest advancements in the field.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
● Computer-aided detection and diagnosis of disease using ophthalmic images
● Image-analysis of novel ophthalmic imaging modalities
● Multimodal ophthalmic image analysis
● Ophthalmic image atlases
● Ophthalmic image analysis in animals
● Registration of ophthalmic images
● Segmentation of structures in ophthalmic imaging modalities
