<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hard to think about another conference when we are just
finishing the CARS conference in Barcelona today, but the due date for the 2009
SPIE Medical Imaging Conference is July 28 (a little earlier this year)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Abstract submission deadlines can be found at<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In past years, the informatics track has accepted over 90%
of the submissions and so this is a good chance to get something published,
although I am not sure we have anything new enough (we published the frame
grabber design last year at SPIE if I recall and we just published the tracker
redesign in IJCARS)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>One possibility is for Sebastian to write an abstract on the
development of the demo application he is working on – we would need to
complete the application and show some phantom results for this so I will discuss
this with him<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Let me know if anyone has any other ideas – I would
like to at least have one paper on IGSTK each year at SPIE<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
