Preface
The Third International Workshop on Biomedical Image Registration (WBIR)
was held July 9-11, 2006, at Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands. Fol-
lowing the success of the first workshop (WBIR 1999), held in Bled, Slovenia,
and the second workshop (WBIR 2003), held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this
meeting (WBIR 2006) aimed to once again gather leading researchers in the area
of biomedical image registration so as to present and discuss recent developments
in the field.
In modern medicine and biology, a valuable method of gathering knowledge
about healthy and diseased organs, tissues, and cells is the integration of comple-
mentary information from volumetric images of these objects. Such information
may be obtained by different imaging modalities, different image acquisition set-
ups, different object preparation procedures, or by sequential image acquisition
in follow-up studies or in dynamic imaging. A necessary pre-processing step for
the integration of image information is image registration by which images, con-
taining complementary information, are brought into the best possible spatial
correspondence with respect to each other. Enabling combination and quantifi-
cation of information about location, form and function, image registration is
nowadays finding increasing use in diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical
guidance.
This year’s workshop consisted of 20 oral presentations with ample time for
discussions, 18 poster presentations and 2 tutorials: one addressing techniques
and applications and the other numerical methods for image registration. We
were delighted to welcome the participants to Utrecht and hope they found the
meeting an interesting, fruitful, enjoyable and stimulating experience. For the
readers unable to attend the workshop, we hope that you find these proceedings
a valuable record of the scientific programme.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of this
workshop: the authors for their excellent contributions, the members of the
Programme Committee for their review work, promotion of the workshop and
general support, the tutorial speakers for their outstanding educational contri-
butions, the local organization staff for their precious time and diligent efforts,
Philips Medical Systems for kind and generous financial support, and all the
attendees for their active participation in the formal and informal discussions.
