Dear friends and supporters of the USCT data exchange and collaboration project ,

We are pleased to announce our next event:

USCT Reference Database and Platform Panel Discussion at the SPIE Medical Imaging 2018 in Houston (https://spie.org/MI/special-events/Technical-Event)

on Wednesday, 14th February, 5:35 to 7:35 pm.

As the goal of this platform is to exchange knowledge and collaborate on research by granting access to raw data from various scanning systems, defining a standardize data format, and publishing easy-to-use data and code interfaces and reconstruction algorithms, in this panel the following topics will be discussed: standardized data formats, well-defined phantoms for comparison of scanners and reconstruction algorithms, simulation tools and simulated data, and contents of a future USCT challenge.

Sincerely yours,

the USCT data exchange and collaboration team
