This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second MICCAI Workshop on Domain Adaptation and Representation Transfer, DART 2020, and the First MICCAI Workshop on Distributed and Collaborative Learning, DCL 2020, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2020 in October 2020. The conference was planned to take place in Lima, Peru, but changed to an online format due to the Coronavirus pandemic. For DART 2020, 12 full papers were accepted from 18 submissions. They deal with methodological advancements and ideas that can improve the applicability of machine learning (ML)/deep learning (DL) approaches to clinical settings by making them robust and consistent across different domains. For DCL 2020, the 8 papers included in this book were accepted from a total of 12 submissions. They focus on the comparison, evaluation and discussion of methodological advancement and practical ideas about machine learning applied to problems where data cannot be stored in centralized databases; where information privacy is a priority; where it is necessary to deliver strong guarantees on the amount and nature of private information that may be revealed by the model as a result of training; and where it's necessary to orchestrate, manage and direct clusters of nodes participating in the same learning task.

The workshops were planned to take place in Strasbourg, France, but were held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CLIP 2021 accepted 9 papers from the 13 submissions received. It focuses on holistic patient models for personalized healthcare with the goal to bring basic research methods closer to the clinical practice. For DCL 2021, 4 papers from 7 submissions were accepted for publication. They deal with machine learning applied to problems where data cannot be stored in centralized databases and information privacy is a priority. LL-COVID19 2021 accepted 2 papers out of 3 submissions dealing with the use of AI models in clinical practice. And for PPML 2021, 2 papers were accepted from a total of 6 submissions, exploring the use of privacy techniques in the medical imaging community.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third MICCAI Workshop on Distributed, Collaborative, and Federated Learning, DeCaF 2022, and the Second MICCAI Workshop on Affordable AI and Healthcare, FAIR 2022, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2022, in Singapore in September 2022. FAIR 2022 was held as a hybrid event. DeCaF 2022 accepted 14 papers from the 18 submissions received. The workshop aims at creating a scientific discussion focusing on the comparison, evaluation, and discussion of methodological advancement and practical ideas about machine learning applied to problems where data cannot be stored in centralized databases or where information privacy is a priority. For FAIR 2022, 4 papers from 9 submissions were accepted for publication. The topics of the accepted submissions focus on deep ultrasound segmentation, portable OCT image quality enhancement, self-attention deep networks and knowledge distillation in low-regime setting.

Meta-Learning, or learning to learn, has become increasingly popular in recent years. Instead of building AI systems from scratch for each machine learning task, Meta-Learning constructs computational mechanisms to systematically and efficiently adapt to new tasks. The meta-learning paradigm has great potential to address deep neural networks' fundamental challenges such as intensive data requirement, computationally expensive training, and limited capacity for transfer among tasks.This book provides a concise summary of Meta-Learning theories and their diverse applications in medical imaging and health informatics. It covers the unifying theory of meta-learning and its popular variants such as model-agnostic learning, memory augmentation, prototypical networks, and learning to optimize. The book brings together thought leaders from both machine learning and health informatics fields to discuss the current state of Meta-Learning, its relevance to medical imaging and health informatics, and future directions. - First book on applying Meta Learning to medical imaging - Pioneers in the field as contributing authors to explain the theory and its development - Has GitHub repository consisting of various code examples and documentation to help the audience to set up Meta-Learning algorithms for their applications quickly

Biomedical Image Synthesis and Simulation: Methods and Applications presents the basic concepts and applications in image-based simulation and synthesis used in medical and biomedical imaging. The first part of the book introduces and describes the simulation and synthesis methods that were developed and successfully used within the last twenty years, from parametric to deep generative models. The second part gives examples of successful applications of these methods. Both parts together form a book that gives the reader insight into the technical background of image synthesis and how it is used, in the particular disciplines of medical and biomedical imaging. The book ends with several perspectives on the best practices to adopt when validating image synthesis approaches, the crucial role that uncertainty quantification plays in medical image synthesis, and research directions that should be worth exploring in the future. - Gives state-of-the-art methods in (bio)medical image synthesis - Explains the principles (background) of image synthesis methods - Presents the main applications of biomedical image synthesis methods

This book covers virtually all aspects of image formation in medical imaging, including systems based on ionizing radiation (x-rays, gamma rays) and non-ionizing techniques (ultrasound, optical, thermal, magnetic resonance, and magnetic particle imaging) alike. In addition, it discusses the development and application of computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) systems in medical imaging. Given its coverage, the book provides both a forum and valuable resource for researchers involved in image formation, experimental methods, image performance, segmentation, pattern recognition, feature extraction, classifier design, machine learning / deep learning, radiomics, CAD workstation design, human–computer interaction, databases, and performance evaluation.
