Notification of Acceptance: February 10, 2008

The Workshop and Tutorials Chairs invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main MICCAI 2008 conference.

MICCAI 2008, the 11th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, will be held from September 6 to 10, 2008 in New York City, USA.

Workshops and tutorials of half or full day duration will be held on either Saturday September 6, or Wednesday September 10, 2008.

The purpose of workshops is to provide a comprehensive forum on topics which will not be fully explored during the main conference by discussing technical and application issues in depth.

The purpose of tutorials is to provide educational material for training new professionals in the field including students, clinicians and new researchers.

Proposers must supply justification for the relevance and viability of intended workshops/tutorials to allow competitive selection.

MICCAI 2008 organisers will collect workshop/tutorial registrations and fees, provide facilities, arrange catering and (optionally) printing of the workshop proceedings.

Guidelines on how to submit a workshop/tutorial proposal are available at How to Submit a Workshop/Tutorial Proposal.

Specialised topics to be addressed in MICCAI workshops/tutorials may be sub-topics of the main conference topics, or may be computational or clinical aspects which cross-over several of the major conference topics. Detailed information on the research topics is at Research Topics.

• General medical image computing
• Computer assisted interventional systems and robotics
• Visualization and interaction
• General biological and neuroscience image computing
• Computational anatomy (statistics on anatomy)
• Computational physiology (virtual organs)
• Innovative clinical and biological applications

Proposals and any related questions should be sent to the Workshop/Tutorial Chairs.
