IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Medical Image Analysis Using Virtual Reality (AMIA-VR 2025)

The goal of the workshop

This workshop will provide a venue for specialists in computer science, healthcare, and Virtual Reality (VR)development to discuss the most recent accomplishments, difficulties, and future directions in VR-based medical imaging.

Workshop theme

Incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) with medical image analysis signifies a revolutionary advancement in healthcare technology. Conventional techniques for analyzing medical images, such as CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays, are frequently constrained by two-dimensional screens and unchanging depictions. VR technology allows healthcare practitioners to engage with medical images in a three-dimensional, immersive setting, improving their capacity to study intricate anatomical structures and pinpoint disease alterations more precisely. The objective of this workshop is to investigate the potential of VR in transforming the visualization, interpretation, and utilization of medical images in clinical practice. This workshop will provide a venue for specialists in computer science, healthcare, and VR development to discuss the most recent accomplishments, difficulties, and future directions in VR-based medical imaging.

Scope of the workshop

Researchers and practitioners all over the world, from both academia and industry, working in the areas of computer science, healthcare, and VR development are invited to discuss state of the art solutions, novel issues, recent developments, applications, methodologies, techniques, experience reports, and tools for the

development and use of VR in transforming the visualization, interpretation, and utilization of medical images in clinical practice. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • This program is specifically tailored to cater to a wide range of participants, encompassing individuals from all backgrounds and demographics. 
  • Healthcare professionals and clinicians with a keen interest in cutting-edge diagnostic equipment.
  • Scientists and scholars specializing in medical imaging, VR, and artificial intelligence (AI).
  • Software developers and engineers are engaged in the development of VR technology specifically designed for healthcare applications. 
  • Medical students and educators are looking for novel approaches to teaching.
  • Policymakers and industry stakeholders with a vested interest in the advancement of healthcare technology.
