maier_ak · x · 2026-10-05
Andreas Maier details FAU Erlangen's MICCAI 2026 results: 11 main-conference papers (six from his Pattern Recognition Lab, five from Bernhard Kainz's IDEA Lab), two challenge wins, and a co-organised workshop.
- Challenges: PENGWIN took first in automatic peripelvic fracture segmentation and fourth in the interactive task; VLM3D (with Siemens Healthineers and d.hip) won three tasks and placed second in a fourth.
- The conference accepted 1,167 of 4,402 reviewed papers; proceedings span 19 LNCS volumes (16878–16896), chapters not yet online.
- Maier calls the piece 'a map, not a review,' declining to reconstruct results he didn't see in person.
