SCOPE <br>
<br></span></p>
<p><span style="color:windowtext"><span> </span></span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:windowtext" lang="EN-US">The outstanding proliferation of
medical image applications has created a need for greater study and scrutiny of
the clinical application and validation of such methods. New strategies are
essential to ensure a smooth and effective translation of computational
image-based techniques into the clinic. For these reasons <span>CLIP</span> 2015’s major
focus is on </span><b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:windowtext" lang="EN-US">translational research </span></b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:windowtext" lang="EN-US">filling the
gaps between basic science and clinical applications. A highlight of the
workshop is the subject of <b>strategies for personalized medicine </b>to
enhance diagnosis, treatment and interventions. Authors are encouraged to
submit work centered on specific clinical applications, including techniques
and procedures based on comprehensive clinical image data. Submissions related
to applications already in use and evaluated by clinical users are particularly
encouraged. The event will bring together world-class specialists to present
ways to strengthen links between computer scientists and engineers, and
clinicians.</span><span style="color:windowtext" lang="EN-US"><br>

PAPER SUBMISSION <br>
<br>
Papers will be limited to eight pages following the <span>MICCAI</span> 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>
