The three-volume set LNCS 6361, 6362 and 6363 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2010, held in Beijing, China, in September 2010. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 251 revised papers from 786 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The second volume includes 84 papers organized in topical sections on ultrasound imaging, neuroimage analysis, simulation of anatomical structures, endoscopic and microscopic imaging, and image registration.

Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention -- MICCAI 2010

Wiro J. Niessen

In the four years of its existence, MICCAI has developed into the premier - nual conference on medical image computing and computer-assisted interv- tion. The single-track conference has an interdisciplinary character, bringing - getherresearchersfromboththenaturalsciencesandvariousmedicaldisciplines. It provides the international forum for developments concerning all aspects of medical image processing and visualization, image-guided and computer-aided techniques, and robot technology in medicine. The strong interest in MICCAI is con?rmed by the large number of subm- sions we received this year, which by far surpassed our expectations. The arrival of the shipload of papers just before the deadlines (one in the European and the otherin theAmericantime zone)wasa particularlyenjoyableexperience,aswas the whole procedure of preparing the scienti?c programme. Both the quantity and quality of the submissions allowed us to compose a volume of high quality papers, which we are sure will contribute to the further development of this exciting ?eld of research. As for the hard numbers, in total 338 submissions were received. Next to full papers, short communications were solicited for works in progress,hardware prototypes, and clinical case studies. Long papers were reviewed by three or four reviewers and short papers by two or three reviewers. The ?nal selection of papers was carried out by the Programme Board. Out of the 246 long papers, 36 were accepted for oral presentation and 100 as full posters. An additional 75 of the long papers, and 47 out of 92 short papers were accepted as short posters.

Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention - MICCAI 2001

The13thInternationalConferenceonMedicalImageComputingandComputer- Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2010, was held in Beijing, China from 20-24 September,2010.ThevenuewastheChinaNationalConventionCenter(CNCC), China’slargestandnewestconferencecenterwith excellentfacilities andaprime location in the heart of the Olympic Green, adjacent to characteristic constr- tions like the Bird’s Nest (National Stadium) and the Water Cube (National Aquatics Center). MICCAI is the foremost international scienti?c event in the ?eld of medical image computing and computer-assisted interventions. The annual conference has a high scienti?c standard by virtue of the threshold for acceptance, and accordingly MICCAI has built up a track record of attracting leading scientists, engineersandcliniciansfromawiderangeoftechnicalandbiomedicaldisciplines. This year, we received 786 submissions, well in line with the previous two conferences in New York and London. Three program chairs and a program committee of 31 scientists, all with a recognized standing in the ?eld of the conference, were responsible for the selection of the papers. The review process was set up such that each paper was considered by the three program chairs, two program committee members, and a minimum of three external reviewers. The review process was double-blind, so the reviewers did not know the identity of the authors of the submission. After a careful evaluation procedure, in which all controversialand gray area papers were discussed individually, we arrived at a total of 251 accepted papers for MICCAI 2010, of which 45 were selected for podium presentation and 206 for poster presentation. The acceptance percentage (32%) was in keeping with that of previous MICCAI conferences. All 251 papers are included in the three MICCAI 2010 LNCS volumes.

The three-volume set LNCS 6361, 6362 and 6363 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2010, held in Beijing, China, in September 2010. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 251 revised papers from 786 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The first volume includes 84 papers organized in topical sections on computer-aided diagnosis, planning and guidance of interventions, image segmentation, image reconstruction and restoration, functional and diffusion-weighted MRI, modeling and simulation, instrument and patient localization and tracking, quantitative image analysis, image registration, computational and interventional cardiology, and diffusion tensor MR imaging and analysis.
