Congratulations to the ECE Robotics and Control Laboratory team on winning two awards at IPCAI 2019 (International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions)!
The team received the ImFusion AI Translational Medicine Award for their paper titled Automatic biplane left ventricular ejection fraction estimation with mobile point-of-care ultrasound using multi-task learning and adversarial training, by Mohammad H. Jafari, Hany Girgis, Nathan Van Woudenberg, Zhibin Liao, Robert Rohling, Ken Gin and Purang Abolmaesumi.
The team also won first place to receive the Best Bench-to-Bedside Award for their paper titled A "Pick-Up" stereoscopic camera with visual-motor aligned control for the da Vinci surgical system: A preliminary study, by Apeksha Avinash, Alaa Eldin Abdelaal Prateek Mathur and Septimiu E. Salcudean.

ImFusion AI Translational Medicine Award
AI in Translational Medicine Award, new in 2019, is generously supported by infusion and recognizes the contributions of a paper applying the principals of AI to Computer-aided Interventions, in particular an application close to clinical translation.
Best Bench-to-Bedside Award
The purpose of this award is to recognize the efforts in translating IPCAI solutions to the clinical setting. Nominated papers should include clinical evaluation of a CAI technology, ideally on a large number of patients. Less emphasis is put on technical innovation, rather on detailed evaluation. These papers will be shortlisted and an award committee composed of members from the IPCAI Steering Committee and Area Chairs will select the winner.
