We had the pleasure of attending this year’s congress of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS; https://cars-int.org/) in Nagoya, Japan, where the following contributions have been presented to the international research community:
- Clinical outcome prediction of Contour Neurovascular System treatment based on pre-treatment geometric and hemodynamics characteristics, presented by Fina Gießler; Couinaud Segment Aware Deep Learning on Point Cloud for Major Liver Resection Planning, presented by Joy Rakshit;
- Resection Zone Prediction for Parenchyma-Sparing Hepatectomy Planning: A Comparative Study of Three Modeling Paradigms also presented by Joy Rakshit (presented on behalf of Janine Rothert) and
- Automatic MRI-Based Segmentation of Ablation Zones in Spine and Liver: A Comparative Study of Network Performance and Influencing Factors presented by Georg Hille (presented on behalf of Janine Rothert).
The conference provided a wonderful platform for exchanging ideas, discussing the latest developments in the field, and connecting with colleagues from around the world. Beyond the inspiring scientific program, the team thoroughly enjoyed the experience of exploring Nagoya. The food was delicious, and the conference venue was truly outstanding, making the event both professionally rewarding and personally memorable.
