Where and when

IEEE Medical Imaging Conference, San Diego, CA, USA
Saturday, 7 November, 2015, 13:00-16:30, Pacific Salon 3

Announcement

Open source software is established as one of the new successful ways of accelerating software development and scientific discoveries across different scientific domains. In tomography, several packages have been developed and extensively used. The aim of this workshop is to provide a comprehensive summary of existing packages in Medical Imaging relevant to the conference attendees. During this workshop experienced developers will present the most recent developments of image reconstruction software libraries and will include emphasis on software and algorithmic development. Additional time will be allowed for discussion between the speakers and the audience.

Registration

The event was free and no registration was required.

Recording

The meeting was recorded via WebEx using non-professional equipment. In addition, the recording quality depended on network throughput at the conference site. Sound quality is therefore sometimes poor, especially in the discussion session at the end where some speakers were too far from the microphone. Nevertheless, we make this recording available for those who could not make it to the workshop.
