Discover, showcase, and collaborate at the Live Demonstration Workshop. We invite you to be a part of an exciting event that promises inspiration, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.

About the workshop
This workshop provides a platform for innovators to showcase their creations. The primary objectives are to inspire research, offer valuable feedback to participants, foster new collaborations, and facilitate learning in the realm of medical imaging.

Who can participate
This is a Symposium-wide event, and the Live Demonstration Workshop welcomes contributions from all conferences within the SPIE Medical Imaging Symposium. We extend our invitation to participants from the Physics, Image Processing, CAD, Image-guided Procedures, Image Perception, Clinical and Biomedical Imaging, Informatics, Ultrasonic Imaging and Tomography, and Digital Pathology conferences. While having an accepted SPIE Medical Imaging abstract is not mandatory for participation, registration for the SPIE Medical Imaging Symposium is required. We encourage authors of abstracts accepted for presentation at SPIE Medical Imaging to submit demonstrations related to their presentations.

What to expect
Expect a dynamic showcase of interactive demonstrations closely aligned with the themes of SPIE Medical Imaging. This workshop will feature live system demonstrations and software presentations. These demonstrations will highlight the implementation, operation, and utility of both emerging and well-established research.

Recognition and awards
The session will include a Certificate of Merit Award and a generous $500 prize sponsored by Siemens Healthineers. We invite all workshop attendees to cast their votes for their top three favorite demonstrations, with the ultimate winner selected by a panel of designated judges from the top scorers.

Rules and requirements:

• Teams from academia (universities, university medical centers, research organizations), government, and industry are invited to participate in this year’s workshop. Demonstrations should be scientific and not commercial in nature; demonstration of research prototypes is highly encouraged.
• After you submit a description of your proposed demonstration, you will receive a confirmation by e-mail.
• The organizers will accept teams for demonstrations based on the quality of the provided description. If there are more proposals than presentation slots in the workshop, organizers will also strive to select a representative mix of applications.
• Notification of acceptance/rejection of your demonstration for the Workshop will be emailed about 3 weeks before the conference (see 'important dates' above).

For demonstrations accepted for presentation at the Live Demonstration Workshop:

• The accepted demonstrations will be listed online in the workshop program.
• All teams need to provide one or two slides describing their system before the conference (see ‘important dates’ above) from which the opening presentation will be compiled.
• In the case of in person SPIE Medical Imaging meeting, each team is responsible for bringing their own equipment. The organization will provide a table and power supply for each demonstration. Demos should be done on a single laptop. If the demo requires an external monitor this is allowed, but there should be no more than one monitor of 25″ maximum size.
• In the unlikely event of a virtual SPIE Medical Imaging meeting, each team will demonstrate their tool over internet and details will be provided at a later date.
• All demonstrators (those present during the workshop) must be registered to attend the SPIE Medical Imaging event.
