09:10		Applications for Machine Learning in Medical Imaging Polina Golland
09:40		Experimental Design for Applications of Machine Learning in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine Jean Baptiste Poline This presentation is about the issues that arise from the use of machine learning techniques for the processing of magnetic resonance images in medicine and in particular brain images. It will discuss the issues of reproducitibility and propose a set of recommendations for setting experimental designs adapted to machine learning applications.
10:10		Break & Meet the Teachers
10:30		State of the Art & Current Problems in Deep Learning Daniel Rueckert We will give an overview of the current state-of-the-art in deep learning for medical imaging applications such as reconstruction, segmentation and classification. In particular, we will illustrate deep learning approaches based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). We will focus on deep learning models taht use encoder-decoder networks and show these can be used for tasks such as image reconstruction and image segmentation. We show some applications of CNNs in the context of image classification. Finally, we will discuss some open challenges for deep learning approaches such as explainability and verification of deep learning.

11:10		Learning Image Reconstruction: AUTOMAP Bo Zhu In this educational talk we describe AUTOMAP, a generalized image reconstruction method utilizing machine learning end-to-end from raw k-space to the final image, enabling reconstruction of arbitrary spatial encoding schemes and encoding spaces (not limited to Fourier) and also featuring noise-robustness which is produced during the training process.
11:30		Machine Learning Applications to Diffusion MRI Microstructure Marco Palombo Diffusion MRI (dMRI) signal is sensitive to the tissue architecture at the microscopic scale. Modern machine learning and deep learning techniques can be used to learn the mapping between acquired dMRI signal and specific features of the tissue microstructure. However, experimental design and validation of training sets are essential for reliable supervised and semi-supervised learning and reproducibility and uncertainty of prediction are still open questions. This lecture provides the key concepts behind machine learning applications to dMRI signal analysis for tissue microstructure quantification and show the audience various techniques which have been recently used.
