The 10 full papers presented at SUSI 2019 and the 10 full papers presented at PIPPI 2019 were carefully reviewed and selected.

The SUSI papers cover a wide range of medical applications of B-Mode ultrasound, including cardiac (echocardiography), abdominal (liver), fetal, musculoskeletal, and lung.

The PIPPI papers cover the detailed scientific study of volumetric growth, myelination and cortical microstructure, placental structure and function.

This volume gathers papers presented at the Workshop on Computational Diffusion MRI (CDMRI 2019), held under the auspices of the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI), which took place in Shenzhen, China on October 17, 2019.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Advances in Simplifying Medical UltraSound, ASMUS 2020, and the 5th International Workshop on Perinatal, Preterm and Paediatric Image Analysis, PIPPI 2020, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2020, the 23rd International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention. The conference was planned to take place in Lima, Peru, but changed to an online event due to the Coronavirus pandemic. 

For ASMUS 2020, 19 contributions were accepted from 26 submissions; the 14 contributions from the PIPPI workshop were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections named: diagnosis and measurement; segmentation, captioning and enhancement; localisation and guidance; robotics and skill assessment, and PIPPI 2020.

This book presents the latest developments in the highly active and rapidly growing field of diffusion MRI. While offering new perspectives on the most recent research challenges in the field, the selected articles also provide a valuable starting point for anyone interested in learning computational techniques for diffusion MRI. The book includes rigorous mathematical derivations, a large number of rich, full-colour visualizations, and clinically relevant results. As such, it is of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of computer science, MRI physics, and applied mathematics. The reader will find numerous contributions coveringa broad range of topics, from the mathematical foundations of the diffusion process and signal generation to new computational methods and estimation techniques for the in-vivo recovery of microstructural and connectivity features, as well as diffusion-relaxometry and frontline applications in research and clinical practice.

PIPPI 2021 accepted 14 papers from the 18 submissions received. The workshop aims to bring together methods and experience from researchers and authors working on these younger cohorts and provides a forum for the open discussion of advanced image analysis approaches focused on the analysis of growth and development in the fetal, infant and paediatric period.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Perinatal, Preterm and Paediatric Image Analysis, PIPPI 2022, held in conjunction with the 25th International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2022, in Singapore, Singapore, in September 2021.

The 10 full papers and 1 short papers presented at PIPPI 2022 were carefully reviewed and selected from 12 submissions. PIPPI 2022 workshop complements the main MICCAI conference by providing a focused discussion of perinatal and paediatric image analysis, including the application of sophisticated analysis tools to fetal, neonatal and paediatric imaging data.

The 10 full papers presented at PIPPI 2023 were carefully reviewed and selected from 14 submissions. PIPPI 2023 workshop complements the main MICCAI conference by providing a focused discussion on the challenges of image analysis techniques as applied to the fetal and infant settings.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Perinatal, Preterm and Paediatric Image Analysis, PIPPI 2024, held in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2024, in Marrakesh, Morocco, on October 6, 2024.

The 14 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions.The methods presented in these proceedings cover the full scope of medical image analysis including segmentation, registration, classification, reconstruction, population analysis and advanced structural, and functional and longitudinal modeling, all with an application to younger cohorts.
