Modern Medical Imaging and the corresponding analyses increasingly require multidisciplinary approaches to “connect the dots” for reliable medical prognosis and diagnosis. This year's festival focuses on fostering the exchange between disciplines and serves as a venue to meet, discuss ideas and initiate collaborations with diverse researchers and industry partners. There will be plenty of opportunities to network including poster presentations, hands-on sessions and tutorials. The meeting will feature a keynote lecture and a completely novel speaker-centered presentation setup. Stay tuned!

Programm Highlights:

Call for Abstracts - Award for Best Contributions! Deadline extended to 8^th of April 2024.
Interactive Hands-on Sessions
MIC Educational Video Challenge - Deadline 31^stof May 2024
"Connecting the Dots" Game
"Fishbowl" Discussion with Audience Participation

2.00 - 3.00 pm Panel "Diversity meets Multidisciplinarity in Imaging"

Moderation: Kareem Elsayad, Roxane Licandro

This panel will discuss the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in medical imaging as well as the exchange between different cultures and age groups and how these enable innovative imaging solutions and progress in the field. Especially, we will talk about how diversity in teams can lead to new perspectives in research and how these can be setup and lead succesfully. What is diversity in the clinical workflow, how is it mirrored in medical imaging data and what should be taken care of in the imaging procedure or study design? What influence has diversity in developing new image analysis techniques? How to setup a diverse and multi-model international data base for research? These and many more questions will be discussed. Supported by following renown panelists:

Baubak Bajoghli - Euro BioImaging

Lalith Kumar Shiyam Sundar - MedUni Wien - Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Claudia Kuntner-Hannes - MedUni Wien - Departent of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy

Lena Linecker - MedUni Wien - Gender Mainstreaming and Diversity

3.00 - 4.00 pm, Coffee Break
