Purpose:
Rapid
technical advances in Medical Imaging, including its growing applications to
drug, gene therapy, and invasive/interventional procedures, as well as a
fusional development of the protein science, imaging modalities, and
nano-technological devices, have attracted significant interests in recent
years. This is motivated by the clinical and basic science research
requirement of obtaining more detailed physiological and pathological
information of the body for establishing localized genesis and progression of
diseases. Current research is also motivated by the fact that medical imaging
is increasingly moving from a primarily diagnostic modality towards a
therapeutic and interventional aid, driven by streamlining the diagnostic and
therapeutic processes for human diseases by means of imaging modalities and
robotic assisted surgery.
The 6th International
Workshop on Medical Imaging and Augmented Reality, MIAR 2013, will be held in
September 2013. The workshop includes a joint MIAR/AE-CAI event on September 21st
followed by an official MICCAI 2013 MIAR/AE-CAI joint workshop on September
22nd, held in conjunction with
MICCAI 2013
at Nagoya, Japan.
The aim of MIAR is to bring together researchers in computer vision, graphics, robotics, and medical imaging to present the state-of-the-art developments in this ever-growing research area. We also encourage a broad interpretation of the field: from macroscopic to molecular imaging, passing the information on to scientists and engineers to develop breakthrough therapeutics, diagnostics, and medical devices, which can then be seamlessly delivered back to patients. The meeting will consist of a single track of oral/poster presentations. Papers presenting original research in the following research topics are being sought.
