The Statistical Atlases and Computational Modeling of the Heart (STACOM) workshop has been running annually at MICCAI since 2010. The 17th edition of STACOM workshop is going to be held in conjunction with the MICCAI 2026 in Strasbourg, France. The STACOM workshop is aiming to create a collaborative forum for young/senior researchers (engineers, biophysicists, mathematicians) and clinicians, working on: statistical analysis of cardiac morphology and dynamics, computational modelling of the heart and fluid dynamics, data/models sharing, personalisation of cardiac electro-mechanical models, quantitative image analysis and translational methods into clinical practice.

Challenges

EchoRisk Challenge

EchoRisk is part of the MICCAI 2026 Cardiac Imaging Thematic Focus, coordinated in collaboration with our workshop as part of a joint full-day program. The objective of the EchoRisk MICCAI challenge is to develop AI methods for cardiac function estimation, assessment, and early prediction of therapy-induced cardiotoxicity from echocardiography data, enabling more reliable and clinically relevant evaluation of heart health.

CMRxRecon2026 Challenge

The objective of establishing the CMRx series challenges is to provide a benchmark that enables the research community to contribute to the work of accelerated CMR imaging with universal approaches that allow more diverse applications and better performance in real-world deployment in various environments. This year’s challenge aims to dramatically accelerate 4D Flow MRI acquisition and reconstruction, enabling high‑fidelity magnitude, phase, and hemodynamic imaging to make 4D Flow MRI practical for routine clinical use
