Objectives

The objective of this workshop is discuss state-of-art in medical image processing and computer assisted intervention of prostate, In this half-day workshop, we will share our recent advances and identify translational technologies useful in clinical application of prostate diagnosis and threpy. We will also identify possible synergies among the participants in future strategy. The agenda will include plenary talks that will review clinical and technical aspects of prostate imaging and therapy as well as 10+ abstract presentations. One of the organizers of the workshop has been committed to MICCAI as a clinician.
