SS1: Advancements in medical image quality assessment and their applications 

Motivation and objectives

Medical images make up a large percentage of healthcare data. Medical experts draw insights from that data to make better decisions about diagnostics and treatments. The evaluation of the medical image quality and its applications is crucial for medical technologies, products, and services. Actual research encompasses a wide range of methodologies on medical quality assessment: subjective tests may be based on the mean opinion score (MOS) or a specific medical task; objective metrics may be the prediction of the MOS or the modeling of the task procedure. But the topic and its applications still remain a great challenge considering the large diversity of medical imaging modalities and pathologies. 

 The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers to exchange the latest advances in medical image quality assessment, as well as its applications in medical image processing, computer-aided diagnosis, image- or video- guided procedures, medical image perception and interpretation, digital and computational pathology, biomedical engineering, display and ergonomic design, etc.
