Important Dates (provisional):
Paper Submission:        12 March 2012
Acceptance Notification:    7 May 2012
Conference Dates:        9 - 11 July 2012

MIUA is the principal UK forum for communicating research progress
within the community interested in image analysis applied to medicine
and related biological science. The meetings are designed for the
dissemination and discussion of research in medical image
understanding and analysis, and aims to encourage the growth and raise
the profile of this multi-disciplinary field by bringing together the
various communities, including
* cardiac imaging
* computer-aided pathology
* computer-aided radiology
* computer assisted surgery
* dermatology
* image guided intervention
* magnetic resonance imaging
* neurology
* novel imaging methods
* oncology
* ophthalmology
* positron emission imaging
* radiology
* surgery
* tissue perfusion
* ultrasound

Technical contributions are sought in all relevant areas including,
but not limited to, the following:

* analysis of cellular images
* analysis of time series
* analysis of functional images
* artificial intelligence in imaging
* cardiac imaging
* computer-aided pathology
* computer-aided radiology
* computer assisted surgery
* data fusion
* decision support
* human computer interaction
* image interpretation
* image guided intervention
* image perception
* image registration
* intelligent imaging systems
* motion analysis
* multi modality
* novel imaging methods
* quantitative image analysis
* segmentation/classification
* shape analysis
* statistical methods in imaging
* systematic testing & validation
* texture analysis
* tissue perfusion
* virtual reality
* visualisation

Technical Papers (5 pages) are solicited on any topic within the scope
of the conference. Each paper will be evaluated by three reviewers.


Challenge Abstracts (1 page) are also solicited. These should outline
a challenge to the image analysis community from a clinical or
end-user perspective.


Conference Chairs:
Dr. Xianghua Xie (Swansea University, UK)
Prof. Min Chen (Swansea University, UK)
