The MICCAI student awards reward the best first author students and subsidises their attendance to present their work at the annual MICCAI conference. Jianan, a PhD student in the lab of MBP scientist Dr. Anne Martel, is one of only 50 recipients who will be granted the highly competitive $500 award.
Jianan’s paper specifically addresses outcome prediction of multifocal cancer patients with imaging findings and deep learning. Jianan found that incorporating features of all tumour lesions of a patient improves outcome prediction. The proposed workflow is also a starting point for exploring the mechanisms of how multifocal cancers drive patient outcome using imaging analysis.
Please join the Department in congratulating Jianan on this outstanding achievement.
