MICCAI is the premier international conference in this domain, with – depth papers on the multidisciplinary ?elds of biomedical image computing and analysis, computer assisted intervention and medical robotics. The conference brings together biological scientists, clinicians, computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists and other interested researchers and o?ers them a forum to exchange ideas in these exciting and rapidly growing ?elds. The conference is both very selective and very attractive: this year we – ceived a record number of 700 submissions from 34 countries and 6 continents, fromwhich258papers were selectedfor publication, whichcorrespondsto a s- cess rate of approximately 36%.
