Jointly sponsored by Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Medical School
Purpose: The formation of MICCAI acknowledges the overlap and synergy of the three vigorous strands of research in medically-oriented visualization, image understanding, and robotics that is represented by the independently successful VBC, MRCAS and CVRMED meetings.
The goal of the organizing committee is to maintain the momentum of the previous meetings and launch an annual meeting that will be recognized as the premier conference of its type. The meeting will be organized in a single track, without parallel sessions. The focus is on the introduction and validation of new image computing and image-guided interventional methodology into clinical practice. The emphasis will be on high quality work, whether methodological or clinical evaluation. The conference will continue to stress a central theme of its predecessor conferences, in which strongly coupled interactions between clinicians and scientists provide a common focus for innovative development and deployment of new methods and systems.
Topics to be addressed in this conference include, but are not restricted to:
Medical Image Computing:
Computer Assisted Interventional Systems:
Clinical Applications of Computer Assisted Systems:
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts for competitive review -- abstracts will not be accepted.
