This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop, FAIMI 2024, and the Third International Workshop, EPIMI 2024, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2024, Marrakesh, Morocco, in October 2024. The 17 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. FAIMI aimed to raise awareness about potential fairness issues in machine learning within the context of biomedical image analysis. The instance of EPIMI concentrates on topics surrounding open science, taking a critical lens on the subject.

This book provides a detailed technical overview of the use and applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and big data in cardiology. Recent technological advancements in these fields mean that there is significant gain to be had in applying these methodologies into day-to-day clinical practice. Chapters feature detailed technical reviews and highlight key current challenges and limitations, along with the available techniques to address them for each topic covered. Sample data sets are also included to provide hands-on tutorials for readers using Python-based Jupyter notebooks, and are based upon real-world examples to ensure the reader can develop their confidence in applying these techniques to solve everyday clinical problems.Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in Cardiology systematically describes and technically reviews the latest applications of AI and big data within cardiology. It is ideal for use by the trainee and practicing cardiologist andinformatician seeking an up-to-date resource on the topic with which to aid them in developing a thorough understanding of both basic concepts and recent advances in the field.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Clinical Image-Based Procedures, CLIP 2023, the First MICCAI Workshop on Fairness of AI in Medical Imaging, FAIMI 2023, and the Second MICCAI Workshop on the Ethical and Philosophical Issues in Medical Imaging, EPIMI 2023, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2023, in October 2023.CLIP 2023 accepted 5 full papers and 3 short papers form 8 submissions received.
