Co-sponsoring professional organisations

The meeting is co-sponsored by the foremost professional organisations in the area, including the British Machine Vision Association (BMVA), the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), the British Institue of Radiology (BIR), BMVA

Objectives

This is the 9^th annual technical meeting which follows the successful series begun in Oxford in 1997. The meetings are designed to provide a UK forum for the dissemination and discussion of research in medical image understanding and analysis, an expanding area in which significant advances are currently being made. It is an area notable for the range of research communities involved, and the meeting aims to encourage the growth and raise the profile of this multi-disciplinary field by bringing together the various communities:

to present the state-of-the-art of UK research in medical image understanding and analysis (submissions from outside the UK are also welcome)
to raise awareness of technical advances among potential users
to encourage dialogue and discussion between workers from across the field
from young researcher to established clinician or scientist
from blue-sky research to practical application
from university, hospital and commercial R&D

to involve those from the range of technical and clinical disciplines involved in medical imaging, including

cardiac imaging

oncology

dermatology

novel imaging methods

computer-aided pathology

computer-aided radiology

computer assisted surgery

image guided intervention

tissue perfusion

ophthalmology

neurology

radiology

surgery

magnetic resonance imaging

positron emission imaging

ultrasound

to highlight past and current successes in the transfer of image analysis systems to clinical practice and identify clinical needs of the future
to encourage discussion of industrial opportunities and the challenges they raise

Topics

Technical contributions are sought in all relevant areas including, but not limited to, the following:

analysis of time series	quantitative image analysis	analysis of functional images
artificial intelligence in imaging	segmentation/classification	cardiac imaging
decision support	shape analysis	computer-aided pathology
image interpretation	statistical methods in imaging	computer-aided radiology
image perception	systematic testing & validation	computer assisted surgery
image registration	texture analysis	human computer interaction
intelligent imaging systems	virtual reality	image guided intervention
motion analysis	visualisation	tissue perfusion
multi modality	data fusion	novel imaging methods
analysis of cellular images
