<p>Medical imaging has evolved to become an essential tool for
diagnosis, treatment and followup of patient diseases. Nowadays, medical
imaging is still on the rise with new image modalities being
incorporated and continuous enhancement on image processing techniques.
Particularly, over the last years there has been an increasing interest
in using machine learning methods to analyse medical data. Some of these
techniques have become a<br>breakthrough in the medical image field,
demonstrating outstanding performance in a wide range of medical
applications. This makes that some of the machine learning subfields,
such as deep learning, are steadily growing for solving biomedical and
biological imaging and image analysis problems, with increased
participation of industry and academia. This special session aims to
present advances and original machine learning-based methods of<br>image
processing and applications in the field of health. It will be an
opportunity to exchange the results of research and new developed
techniques in this research field with promising prospects.</p>
<p>The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:</p>
<ul><li>Medical image classification</li><li>Medical image segmentation</li><li>Deep learning models for medical image analysis</li><li>Data-driven biomarker discovery for disease detection and classification</li><li>Radiomic and radiogenomic analysis</li></ul>
