International events

OHBM

  • Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM)

  • Presents researches on anatomical and functional organization of the human brain. It is a half-method, half-application conference working on strenghtening the translational research. It concerns all imaging methods (MRI, PET, EEG, etc.). We generally see more functional than diffusion MRI.

  • Annual international conference since 1995.

MICCAI

  • The Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Society (MICCAI)

  • There are two components: The MIC - medical image and the CAI - computer assisted intervention and robotics. It is also a half-method, half-application conference, but the applications often use more sophisticated techniques so the methods are very important. You can generally see a lot of mathematics and deep learning techniques, although this is now also present in MIDL. The workshops surrounding the events are often very strong, and there are also many challenges organized in that period.

  • Annual international meeting since 1998.

ISMRM

  • The International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM)

Main Conference

  • This conference only presents the MRI modalities and, like MICCAI, focuses a lot on the methods even if it is a half-method, half-application conference.

  • Annual international conference since 1994.

Diffusion study group Workshop:

  • A meeting of the ISMRM diffusion study group, focusing on advances in diffusion MRI acquisition and processing, organized from time to time. https://groups.ismrm.org/diffusion/

MIDL

  • Medical Imaging with Deep Learning (MIDL)

  • As the name says, a conference combining medical imaging and deep learning. Contrary to other conferences, all presentations are in this multi-disciplinary field.

  • Annual international conference since 2018.

Dipy workshop

  • DIPY offers an annual workshop which is a good way to get acquainted with DIPY. It is held in Indiana (Indiana University is DIPY’s main sponsor) around March.
