24 DAILY MICCAI Wednesday Workshop Preview In recent years, much discussion and research funding has been invested in early cancer detection. The Cancer Prevention through early detecTion (CaPTion) workshop aims to bring this topic to the forefront of theMICCAI community. Before the workshop’s first edition last year, organizers noted a shift in what they perceived as a very technical conference, with MICCAI seeing a growing focus on interaction with clinicians and even introducing a clinical day. “Early detection is not only detection; there is a strong imaging component, and this fits very well with MICCAI,” Bartek explains. “There is lots of preclinical research which uses microscopy and all of the variants of preclinical imaging. They process and analyze images, not necessarily to detect cancer, but to understand the mechanism of how cancer develops and progresses. We wanted to bring this to the MICCAI community and focus people around the application rather than technology.” The CaPTion workshop is critical to this mission. Revolving entirely around early cancer detection, it covers various facets of the application, from biology and screening to integration. It brings together clinicians, researchers, and Bartek Papiez is an Associate Professor at the Big Data Institute in Oxford, leading the Medical Image Analysis and Machine Learning group. He is co-organizing an innovative MICCAI workshop on early cancer detection and speaks to us ahead of tomorrow’s (Thursday) main event in Vancouver.
