Brainlesion: Glioma, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injuries

Alessandro Crimi

This two-volume set LNCS 12962 and 12963 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 7th International MICCAI Brainlesion Workshop, BrainLes 2021, as well as the RSNA-ASNR-MICCAI Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) Challenge, the Federated Tumor Segmentation (FeTS) Challenge, the Cross-Modality Domain Adaptation (CrossMoDA) Challenge, and the challenge on Quantification of Uncertainties in Biomedical Image Quantification (QUBIQ). These were held jointly at the 23rd Medical Image Computing for Computer Assisted Intervention Conference, MICCAI 2020, in September 2021. The 91 revised papers presented in these volumes were selected form 151 submissions. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually.
This is an open access book.

About the Author

Portrait of author Alessandro Crimi
Alessandro Crimi
Dr. Alessandro Crimi is a biomedical engineer and health economist who alternated his career between neuroimaging and healthcare management in low-income countries.

He was born in Italy. After completing his studies at the University of Palermo, he obtained a PhD in machine learning applied for medical imaging by the University of Copenhagen,  and an MBA in healthcare management by the University of Basel.  

Alessandro worked as post-doctoral researcher at the French Institute for Research in Computer Science (INRIA), Technical School of Switzerland (ETH-Zurich), Italian Institute for Technology (IIT), and University Hospital of Zurich. In those institutes he made significant contributions in the field of computational neuroscience. The post-doctoral years at European institutes were alternated by period lived in Ghana and other Sub-Saharan countries where Dr. Crimi taught and carried out in-field projects about healthcare management. He taught for 8 years at the African Institute for Mathematical Science (AIMS) in Ghana and South Africa the course of machine learning in medicine, where he also supervised numerous MSc theses. The projects he conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa were related to prenatal care, diabetes, malaria and HIV management using novel technologies as machine learning, image processing and social engineering.

Since 2021, Dr. Crimi moved to the Center for computational medicine in Poland, where is a principal investigator, he had to limit his engagements with AIMS to MSc thesis supervision.

Dr. Crimi is currently the head of the neuroimaging lab at Sano working on finding novel biomarkers related to brain diseases with new technologies as machine learning and quantum computing. He is also the Professor of neuroimaging at the Technical School of Krakow. Moreover, he is currently involved in activities for technology transfer to train immigrant and women with children towards entrepreneurship.
