CALL FOR PAPERS
MICCAI 2013 Workshop on
Clinical Image-based Procedures: Translational Research in Medical Imaging


September 22, 2013
Toyoda Auditorium, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan

SCOPE

Over the past few years, there has been considerable and growing interest
in the development and evaluation of new translational image-based
procedures in the modern hospital. For a decade or more, a proliferation of
meetings dedicated to medical image computing has created a need for
greater study and scrutiny of the clinical application and validation of
such methods. New attention and new strategies are essential to ensure a
smooth and effective translation of computational image-based techniques
into the clinic. For these reasons and to complement other
technology-focused MICCAI workshops on computer assisted interventions,
CLIP2013’s major focus is on translational research filling the gaps
between basic science and clinical applications.
A highlight of this year’s workshop is the subject of strategies for
patient-specific and anatomical modeling to support planning and
interventions. Members of the medical imaging community are encouraged to
submit work centered on specific clinical applications, including
techniques and procedures based on comprehensive clinical image data. The
event aims to bring together world-class researchers and clinicians to
present ways to strengthen links between computer scientists and engineers,
and surgeons, interventional radiologists and radiation oncologists.
Authors are expected to highlight the clinical relevance of their work,
validation methodology and integration into clinical workflow. Submissions
related to applications already in use and evaluated by clinical users are
particularly encouraged.


TOPICS

* Strategies for patient-specific and anatomical modeling to support
planning and interventions
* Clinical studies employing advanced image-guided methods
* Clinical translation and validation of image-guided systems
* Current challenges and emerging techniques in image-based procedures
* Identification of parameters and error analysis in image-based procedures
* Multimodal image integration for modeling, planning and guidance
* Clinical applications in open and minimally invasive procedures


PAPER SUBMISSION

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.
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.
Accepted papers will be published as a post-proceedings volume in the
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the
workshop.

WORKSHOP FORMAT

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.

IMPORTANT DATES

* June 17, 2013: Paper submission due date
* July 2, 2013: Notification of acceptance

CONTACT

Inquires about the workshop should be sent to the Information Desk (
