Goal
On behalf of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), and the National Center for Image-Guided Therapy (NCIGT) at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, it is our pleasure to announce an upcoming workshop on “Clinical Image-Guided Therapy: Opportunities and Needs” and invite you to attend and participate in the workshop.
This workshop will be held on March 10-11, 2008 at the Rockville Hilton in Rockville, Maryland and will be composed of scientific sessions in areas of neuro-, prostate, and body interventions, focused ultrasound, and targeted drug-delivery, as well as imaging, computation and visualization technologies in support of image-guided therapies (IGT). There will also be parallel hands-on breakout sessions focused on various applications of the Slicer visualization modules. In addition, the organizers would like to invite submission of abstracts on clinical IGT for poster presentations at the meeting. Scientific abstracts may be submitted for the poster session of this workshop. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 5 pm EST January 24, 2008, with further details available below.
We expect attendance by the members of the academia, industry, and federal agencies interested in the field of image-guided interventions.
The overall goal of this workshop is to asses the current needs and opportunities in the field of image-guided interventions and NCIGT’s role as a national center in relation to the greater IGT community. In order to best achieve this goal it is important for all participants to attend both days of the workshop. The preliminary program for the workshop is currently available below and further details on the program and the logistics will be available in January.

Call for Poster Abstracts
Poster Sessions
There will be a working lunch poster session during both days of the workshop and abstract submissions will be considered for exhibits during the poster sessions. Prospective attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts describing their research in areas related to clinical image-guided therapy for consideration of exhibition in the Poster Sessions of the workshop.
Abstract Format, Submission and Acceptance
Authors should organize the abstract (250 words or less) in four sections: Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions, identified by bold headers. Submissions may be made by sending your abstract to ncigt-workshop-posters@bwh.harvard.edu. Deadline for submission of abstracts is 5 pm EST January 24, 2008. All submissions will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee of the workshop for scientific merit and program relevance. Principal authors will be notified of the result of the abstract review by Feb 2, 2008. Guidelines for the poster format will be provided at the same time.
