MultiTab 2026

MICCAI Workshop on Multimodal Learning with Medical Tabular Data

In conjunction with the 29th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, Strasbourg Convention Center, France

About the Workshop

Tabular clinical data—including electronic health records (EHRs), laboratory measurements, omics data, and other clinical variables—remain underutilized in medical imaging research despite their widespread availability in biobanks and clinical repositories. Their heterogeneous structure, variable coding schemes, and substantial missingness make them difficult to model and integrate with imaging and other modalities.

MultiTab focuses on advancing methodological approaches that address these challenges, positioning tabular and semi-structured medical data as a core component that can enhance medical imaging analysis. We aim to gather researchers developing AI methods for learning from diverse tabular data types and for combining them with image data and other complementary modalities.

Call for Papers

We welcome contributions across the following topics:

Fusion of Imaging, Tabular, and Multimodal Data

Novel architectures and techniques for integrating imaging with tabular data (e.g., clinical, omics, EHRs) and other modalities (e.g., text, time-series, signals).

Multimodal Inference Challenges

Generalization, robustness, and trustworthiness in models combining tabular and imaging data with focus on scalability, interpretability, and uncertainty quantification.

Foundation Models for Multimodal Learning

Adaptation, fine-tuning, and evaluation of foundation models to enhance fusion and representation learning across tabular and imaging data.

Trustworthy and Explainable AI

Cross-modal interpretability, fairness, bias mitigation, and compliance in models leveraging both imaging and structured tabular data.

Benchmarking and Reproducibility

Standards, datasets, and evaluation metrics specifically designed for multimodal research involving imaging and tabular data.

Handling Data Heterogeneity

Techniques for missing data, noise, multi-source integration, domain shifts, and longitudinal multimodal analysis with temporal alignment.

Talk Title

Beyond Echocardiography: Toward Clinical Diagnosis Through Multimodal Fusion

Prof. Bernard received his Electrical Engineering degree and Ph.D. from the University of Lyon (INSA), France, in 2003 and 2006, respectively. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Biomedical Imaging Group at the Federal Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne, EPFL, Switzerland in 2007.

He is currently Professor at the University of Lyon (INSA) and the Deputy Director of the CREATIS laboratory in France. He is Senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). He is also the head of the MYRIAD research team, which specializes in medical image analysis, simulation, and modeling.

His current research interests focus on image analysis through deep learning techniques, with applications in cardiovascular imaging, blood flow imaging, and population representation. From a methodological point of view, Prof. Bernard's recent research focuses on heterogeneous data integration, domain adaptation, and uncertainty estimation using AI-based methods.

Prof. Bernard is currently Associate Editor (AE) of the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics journal, AE of the European Heart Journal (Cardiovascular Imaging), and guest AE of the Transactions on Medical Imaging.
