Preface
Integrative models of cardiac function are important for understanding disease, eval-
uating treatment, and planning intervention. In the recent years, there has been con-
siderable progress in cardiac image analysis techniques, cardiac atlases, and
computationalmodelsthatcanintegratedatafromlarge-scaledatabasesofheartshape,
function, and physiology. However, significant clinical translation of these tools is
constrained by the lack of complete and rigorous technical and clinical validation as
well as benchmarking of the developed tools. For doing so, common and available
ground-truth data capturing generic knowledge on the healthy and pathological heart
are required. Several efforts are now established to provide Web-accessible structural
and functional atlases of the normal and pathological heart for clinical, research, and
educational purposes. We believe that these approaches will only be effectively
developed through collaboration across the full research scope of the cardiac imaging
and modeling communities.
STACOM 2018 (http://stacom2018.cardiacatlas.org) was held in conjunction with
the MICCAI 2018 international conference (Granada, Spain, Canada), following the
past eight editions: STACOM 2010 (Beijing, China), STACOM 2011 (Toronto,
Canada),STACOM2012(Nice,France),STACOM2013(Nagoya,Japan),STACOM
2014 (Boston, USA), STACOM 2015 (Munich, Germany), STACOM 2016 (Athens,
Greece), and STACOM 2017 (Quebec City, Canada). STACOM 2018 provided a
forumtodiscussthelatestdevelopmentsinvariousareasofcomputationalimagingand
modelingoftheheart,aswellasstatisticalcardiacatlases.Thetopicsoftheworkshop
included: cardiac imaging and image processing, machine learning applied to cardiac
imagingandimageanalysis,atlasconstruction,statisticalmodellingofcardiacfunction
across different patient populations, cardiac computational physiology, model cus-
tomization, atlas-based functional analysis, ontological schemata for data and results,
integrated functional and structural analyses, as well as the pre-clinical and clinical
applicability of these methods.
Besides regular contributing papers, additional efforts of the STACOM 2018
workshopwerealsofocusedontwochallenges:the3DAtrialSegmentationChallenge
andtheLeftVentricleFullQuantificationChallenge,brieflydescribedbelow.Atotalof

volume.
3D Atrial Segmentation Challenge
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia. The poor
performance of current AF treatment is due to a lack of understanding of the atrial
structure. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (i.e., late gadolinium
enhancement, LGE) is widely used to study the extent of fibrosis (scars) across the
atria.DirectsegmentationoftheatrialchambersfromLGEimagesisverychallenging.

segmentation for the atrial cavity, to accurately reconstruct and visualize the atrial
structure. This challenge has provided an open competition for wider communities to
test and validate their methods for image segmentation on a large 3D clinical dataset.
The exciting development is a very important step toward patient-specific diagnostics
and treatment of AF.

Left Ventricle (LV) Full Quantification Challenge
Accurate cardiac left ventricle (LV) quantification is among the most clinically
important and most frequently demanded tasks for identification and diagnosis of
cardiac diseases and is of great interest in the research community of medical image
analysis. The LVQuan18 challenge:
(cid:129) Focused on full quantification of the LV (i.e., all clinical significant LV indices
regarding to the anatomical structure of LV were investigated in addition to the
frequently studied LV volume)
(cid:129) Provided a unified platform for participants around the world to develop effective
solutions for LV full quantification
(cid:129) BenchmarkedallsubmittedsolutionsforthetaskofLVquantificationandadvance
the state-of-art performance for computer-aided cardiac image quantification
The reader can find more information on the challenge website: https://lvquan18.

We hope that the results obtained by these two challenges, along with the regular
paper contributions, will act to accelerate progress in the important areas of heart
function and structure analysis.
We would like to thank all organizers, reviewers, authors, and sponsors for their
time, efforts, contributions, and financial support in making STACOM 2018 a suc-
cessful event.
