<br>SCOPE
<br>
<br>Over the past few years, there has been considerable and growing
interest in the development and evaluation of new translational
image-based procedures in the modern hospital. For a decade or more, a
proliferation of meetings dedicated to medical image computing has
created a need for greater study and scrutiny of the clinical
application and validation of such methods. New attention and new
strategies are essential to ensure a smooth and effective translation of
computational image-based techniques into the clinic. For these reasons
and to complement other technology-focused MICCAI workshops on computer
assisted interventions, CLIP2013’s major focus is on translational
research filling the gaps between basic science and clinical
applications.
<br>A highlight of this year’s workshop is the subject of strategies for
patient-specific and anatomical modeling to support planning and
interventions. Members of the medical imaging community are encouraged
to submit work centered on specific clinical applications, including
techniques and procedures based on comprehensive clinical image data.
The event aims to bring together world-class researchers and clinicians
to present ways to strengthen links between computer scientists and
engineers, and surgeons, interventional radiologists and radiation
oncologists. Authors are expected to highlight the clinical relevance of
their work, validation methodology and integration into clinical
workflow. Submissions related to applications already in use and
evaluated by clinical users are particularly encouraged.

<br>
<br>TOPICS
<br>
<br>* Strategies for patient-specific and anatomical modeling to support planning and interventions
<br>* Clinical studies employing advanced image-guided methods
<br>* Clinical translation and validation of image-guided systems
<br>* Current challenges and emerging techniques in image-based procedures
<br>* Identification of parameters and error analysis in image-based procedures
<br>* Multimodal image integration for modeling, planning and guidance
<br>* Clinical applications in open and minimally invasive procedures
<br>
<br>
<br>PAPER SUBMISSION
<br>
<br>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.
<br>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.
<br>Accepted papers will be published as a post-proceedings volume in
the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the
workshop.
<br>
<br>WORKSHOP FORMAT
<br>
<br>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.
<br>
<br>IMPORTANT DATES
<br>
<br>* June 8, 2013: Paper submission due date
<br>* July 2, 2013: Notification of acceptance
