IBME Postdoctoral researcher Dr. Yingyu Yang wins the Women in MICCAI (WiM) Best Oral Presentation Third Place Award at MICCAI 2025.

Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) postdoctoral researcher Dr. Yingyu Yang, was awarded the Best Oral Presentation Award for her outstanding research presentation titled, “Latent Motion Profiling for Annotation-free Cardiac Phase Detection in Adult and Fetal Echocardiography Videos”. Her presentation was one of the oral presentations delivered at The Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Society (MICCAI) 2025, 28th International Conference, held in Daejeon, Republic of Korea.

Dr. Yang’s research is part of the inter-disciplinary fetal echocardiography project CAIFE, which is a joint project between the Noble group at the IBME and the Papageorghiou group in the Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health. CAIFE is developing AI-assistive methods to simplify the detection of congenital heart defects from fetal ultrasound screening video. CAIFE is funded as part of the InnoHK-funded Hong Kong Centre for Cerebro-cardiovascular Health Engineering (COCHE).

Dr. Yang says “It’s a great pleasure to attend MICCAI this year. I’m particularly impressed by the vast amount of interesting and inspiring work that is advancing healthcare. The poster session has been one of my favourite parts, as it provides an excellent opportunity for direct interaction with the authors. I also truly enjoyed presenting my own work to the audience. It was very rewarding to see people engage with my research and discuss potential improvements and further applications.”
