This book represents the remarkable outcome of the Second Automatization of Cranial Implant Design in Cranioplasty Challenge,AutoImplant 2021, which was held in conjunction with the 24th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention,MICCAI 2021, in the captivating city of Strasbourg, France, during September 2021. Due to the unforeseen circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the challenge was conducted virtually, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of the scientific community.

Comprising a total of 7 papers, along with an invited paper, a qualitative evaluation criteria from esteemed neurosurgeons, and a comprehensive dataset descriptor, this challenge sets forth an ambitious objective: to deliver more affordable, expeditious, and patient-centric solutions to the design and manufacturing of medical implants, particularly cranial implants. The need for such solutions is paramount, as they are essential in repairing defective skulls resulting from brain tumor surgeries or traumatic injuries.

The presented solutions in this book serve as a valuable benchmark for future publications in the realm of 3D volumetric shape learning and cranial implant design. They offer insightful perspectives and innovative approaches that have the potential to revolutionize the field of medical implants and improve the lives of countless individuals.

By compiling this comprehensive collection of research, the organizers of AutoImplant 2021 have made a significant contribution to the advancement of medical technology. Their dedication to fostering collaboration and promoting innovation is commendable, and it is hoped that this challenge will inspire further advancements in the years to come.
