Dear reader, We continue our tradition of distilling for you the best of the best from the top technology conferences. Find out about the works that won the Best Paper and Audience Awards at WBIR 2022 and the Best Paper Award at MIUA 2022 . These celebrated papers will pique your interest in scientific innovation and solid methodology. Don't miss them in our popular supplement Medical Imaging News on page 27. We are also excited about what is coming up: the MICCAI conference opens its doors on September 18, when the whole imaging community will finally meet again in person in Singapore. Are you coming? If so, we will see you there! If not, we can help you stay up to date about what is happening: feel at MICCAI as if you were at MICCAI by subscribing for free to the MICCAI Daily , published by RSIP Vision every morning during the conference for the 7th consecutive year. This month, we ask the question: Is AI really a black box? The R&D group at RSIP Vision uncovers the answer for you on page 28 with new aspects of explainability that are sure to lead to acceptance of AI- driven classifiers and remove doubts among users. Our guest Woman in Computer Vision, Ana Lucia Cruz Ruiz , shares her passionate scientific projects and dreams with us. She also pays a moving tribute to much-missed Leila Janah , the iconic founder of Samasource and her favorite role model for social and community impact. Before all this, we welcome back to our pages a friend of the magazine, Matthias Niessner , who is making headlines again with an impressive start-up he co-founded. Synthesia uses AI to generate video avatars, and the results are virtually indistinguishable from reality. Turn the page and read all about it. Enjoy the reading!
