This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Statistical Atlases and Computational Models of the Heart: Imaging and Modelling Challenges, STACOM 2012, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2012, in Nice, France, in October 2012. The 42 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on CFD challenge, DE-MRI segmentation challenge, LV landmark detection challenge, motion tracking analysis challenge, and regular papers.
From the book reviews:
“The book is aimed primarily at students, health professionals, and researchers who are looking to enhance their knowledge of further advances in cardiac imaging and statistical models of the heart. ... This is a valuable resource for those interested in keeping abreast of the latest advances in cardiac imaging statistical models and will serve to accelerate progress in the important area of heart structure and functional analysis.” (Pooja Sethi, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2015)
