Preface
We are proud to present the proceedings of the First Workshop on Machine Learning
for Medical Image Reconstruction (MLMIR), which was held on 16th September 2018
in Granada, Spain, as part of the 21st Medical Image Computing and Computer
Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) conference.
in machine
transform-based
learning. Whereas
Image reconstruction is currently undergoing a paradigm shift that is driven by
or
advances
traditionally
optimization-based methods have dominated methods for
image reconstruction,
machine learning has opened up the opportunity for new data-driven approaches, which
have demonstrated a number of advantages over traditional approaches. In particular,
deep learning techniques have shown significant potential for image reconstruction and
offer interesting new approaches. Finally, machine learning approaches also offer the
possibility of application-specific image reconstruction, e.g., in motion-compensated
cardiac or fetal imaging.
This is supported by the success of machine learning in other inverse problems by
multiple groups worldwide, with encouraging results and increasing interest. Coinci-
dentally, this year is the centenary of the Radon transform and the 250th anniversary
of the birth of Joseph Fourier. The Fourier transform and the Radon transform provide
the mathematical foundation for tomography and medical imaging. It seems appro-
priate and timely to consider how to invert the Radon transform and Fourier transform
via machine learning, and have this workshop serve as a forum to reflect this emerging
trend of image reconstruction research. In this respect, it will frame a fresh new way to
recharge or redefine the reconstruction algorithms with extensive prior knowledge for
superior diagnostic performance.
The aim of the workshop was to drive scientific discussion of advanced machine
learning techniques for image acquisition and image reconstruction, opportunities for
new applications, as well as challenges in the evaluation and validation of ML-based
reconstruction approaches. We were fortunate that Jong Chul Ye (KAIST) and Michael
Unser (EPFL) gave fascinating keynote lectures that summarised the state of the art in
this emerging field. Finally, we received 21 submissions and were able to accept 17
papers for inclusion in the workshop. The topics of the accepted papers cover the full
range of medical image reconstruction problems, and deep learning dominates the
machine learning approaches that are used to tackle the reconstruction problems.
