Systems and Architectures for Computer Assisted Interventions

MICCAI 2008



  • Location: Kimmel Center, Room 406, New York, NY
  • Date: Saturday, September 6, 2008
  • Time: 9am - 6pm


The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing open source toolkits and open interfaces and how they have been applied in the development of computer assisted intervention systems. The intent is to establish a dialogue between the open source community, industry, and researchers in the field. The workshop will include presentations and panel discussions about: 1) existing open source toolkits, 2) open (research) interfaces to medical products, and 3) integrated systems for computer assisted interventions.

One outcome of the workshop will be a technical paper (white paper) that will be submitted for review to the International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery. If completed by Oct 2, 2008, the paper will be considered for a special issue on New Technologies.

The final program has been modified to start at 9 AM and end at 6 PM, as requested by MICCAI organizers.

July 29, 2008

The workshop program has now been posted.

We are still awaiting abstracts and/or papers from some invited speakers. Please send these to pkaz@jhu.edu.

Organizers

  • Peter Kazanzides, Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology (CISST ERC), Johns Hopkins University
  • Nobuhiko Hata, National Center for Image Guided Therapy (NCIGT), Brigham & Women’s Hospital
  • Luis Ibanez, Kitware, Inc.


Important Dates

Notification of acceptance has been moved to July 29 so that the final program can be announced before the MICCAI early registration deadline. The Insight Journal allows public peer review to be done at any time.

  • July 21, 2008: deadline for paper submissions via the Insight Journal
  • July 29, 2008: notification of acceptance for presentation
  • September 6, 2008: workshop


Submission Information

We are soliciting submissions that describe integrated systems for computer-assisted interventions, regardless of whether or not they utilize open source software. Submissions that describe open source software packages for computer assisted interventions are also appropriate. All submissions should be made via the Insight Journal. A special issue has been created for the Workshop on Systems and Architectures for Computer Assisted Interventions at MICCAI 2008. Note that the Insight Journal has a LaTeX style file available here.

Key points regarding submission:

  • Papers may be up to 8 pages in length. Authors are encouraged to include other files with their submission,particularly videos, code, and data. Extended abstracts will be considered, especially if accompanied by other files.
  • Every submission immediately appears on the Insight Journal site in the Special Issue on the MICCAI Workshop. Therefore, every submission is available to any registered member of the Insight Journal (and registration is free).
  • Submission requires licensing to the Insight Journal the right to distribute your submission under the Creative Commons' "by-attribution" license. Copyright transfer is not required.
  • The Insight Journal is a registered digital library. Therefore, your submission is automatically assigned a unique open-archive "handle" that (unlike URLs) persists on the web and that (unlike other web-based database keys) allows your submission to be indexed by Google and other search engines. Handles also serve as a mechanism whereby submissions can be permanently referenced in publications.


Peer Review

Every submission is available for public peer-review. That is, any registered member of the Insight Journal (and registration is free) is able to download, score, and comment on any submission to this workshop. All reviews are public. Anonymous reviews are discouraged.

The workshop committee will consider the posted reviews, as well as the intent of the workshop, to select papers for oral presentation. Those decisions will be announced on or about July 30, 2008.
