Computational Medical Image Analysis has become a prominent field of research at the intersection of Informatics, Computational Sciences, and Medicine, supported by a vibrant community of researchers working in academics, industry, and clinical centers.

During the past few years, Machine Learning methods have brought a revolution to the Computer Vision community, introducing novel efficient solutions to many image analysis problems that had long remained unsolved. For this revolution to enter the field of Medical Image Analysis, dedicated methods must be designed which take into account the specificity of medical images.

Indeed, medical images capture the anatomy and physiology of patients through the measurements ...
