SCOPE

The outstanding proliferation of medical image applications has created a need for greater study and scrutiny of the clinical application and validation of such methods. New strategies are essential to ensure a smooth and effective translation of computational image-based techniques into the clinic. For these reasons CLIP 2014’s major focus is on translational research filling the gaps between basic science and clinical applications. A highlight of the workshop is the subject of strategies for personalized medicine to enhance diagnosis, treatment and interventions. Authors are encouraged to submit work centered on specific clinical applications, including techniques and procedures based on comprehensive clinical image data. Submissions related to applications already in use and evaluated by clinical users are particularly encouraged. The event will bring together world-class specialists to present ways to strengthen links between computer scientists and engineers, and clinicians.


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.
