<br>
<br>October 5, 2012
<br>Acropolis Convention Center, Nice, France

<br>
<br>SCOPE
<br>
<br>There has been considerable interest over the last years in the
development and evaluation of new translational techniques for clinical
image-based planning and interventions at the cutting edge of modern
procedures in the hospital. This workshop aims to fill the gap between
basic science and clinical applications by focusing on the clinical
translations of state-of-the-art methods with a special emphasis on
image-based planning and interventions.
<br>
<br>TOPICS
<br>
<br> * Challenges and emerging techniques in image-based procedures
<br> * Clinical translation of image-based techniques for planning and intervention
<br> * Error analysis in image-based procedures
<br> * Navigation and tracking: tool tracking, organ tracking, and tumor tracking
<br> * Computational anatomy and image analysis: modeling, segmentation, simulation
<br> * Personalization of patient models to support interventions
<br> * Inter- and intra-modality registration
<br> * Visualization for operation planning
<br> * Multimodal image-based planning and guidance
<br> * Clinical applications in open and minimally invasive surgery
<br> * Clinical validation of image-guided systems
<br>
<br>PAPER SUBMISSION
<br>
<br>Papers will be limited to eight pages following the MICCAI
submission guidelines. Prospective authors should refer to the Paper
Submission section on the workshop website for details on how to submit
papers to be presented at the workshop.
<br>All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 members of the
program committee. The selection of the papers will be based on the
significance of results, novelty, technical merit, relevance and clarity
of presentation. Papers will be presented in a day long single track
workshop starting with plenary sessions.
<br>Accepted papers will be published as a post-proceedings volume in
the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the
workshop.
<br>
<br>WORKSHOP FORMAT
<br>
<br>Accepted papers will be presented in a day long single track
workshop. The final program will consist of invited speakers and
original papers with time allocated for discussions. Electronic
proceedings will be arranged for all of the papers presented at the
workshop.
<br>
<br>IMPORTANT DATES
<br>
<br> * June 15, 2012: Paper submission due date
<br> * July 6, 2012: Notification of acceptance
