This 3rd edition of the International Medical Imaging Summer School aims to provide both an objective and clear overview and an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art research at the interface of Medical Imaging and Deep Learning. 

The course will contain a combination of in-depth tutorial-style lectures on fundamental state-of-the-art concepts, followed by accessible yet advanced research lectures using examples and applications. 

A broad overview of the field will be given, and guided reading groups will complement lectures. The course will be delivered by world renowned experts from both academia and industry, who are working closely at the interface of medical imaging/deep learning.

This school follows the two very successful previous editions:

- Medical Imaging meets Computer Vision: http://iplab.dmi.unict.it/miss14

- Medical Imaging meets Machine Learning: http://iplab.dmi.unict.it/miss16

The school aims to provide a stimulating graduate training opportunity for young researchers and Ph.D. students. The participants will benefit from direct interaction with world leaders in medical image computing and deep learning(often working in both fields). Participants will also have the opportunity to present their own research, and to interact with their scientific peers, in a friendly and constructive setting.
