Preface
The 14th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Com-
puterAssistedIntervention,MICCAI 2011,washeldinToronto,Canadaduring
September, 18–22, 2011. The venue was the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel and
ConferenceCentreonthe waterfrontofLakeOntarioinDowntownToronto,the
world’s most ethnically diverse city.
MICCAI is the foremost international scientific event in the field of medical
image computing and computer-assisted intervention. The annual conference
has a high scientific standard by virtue of the threshold for acceptance, and
accordinglyMICCAI has built up a trackrecordof attractingleading scientists,
engineersandcliniciansfromawiderangeoftechnicalandbiomedicaldisciplines.
The year 2011 saw a record 819 paper submissions.
TheProgramCommittee(PC)ofMICCAI2011comprised53members.Each
ofthe819paperswasassignedtotwoPCmembers(aprimaryandasecondary)
according to their expertise and the subject matter of the paper. The primary
member knew the identity of the authors, but the secondary one did not. Each
PCmemberhadabout17papersasprimaryandafurther17assecondarymem-
ber. The primary PC member assignedat leastthree externalreviewersto each
paper,accordingto theirexpertiseandthe subjectmatterofthe paper.Theex-
ternal reviewers provided double-blind reviews of the papers, and authors were
given the opportunity to rebut the anonymous reviews. In cases where reviewer
opinions differed significantly and/or the rebuttal made it necessary, the pri-
mary member initiated a discussionamong the reviewers.The primary member
summarized the outcome of the discussion in a short report for the secondary.
Finally, the secondary member considered all input (the reviews, rebuttal, dis-
cussion, primary’s report, and, almost importantly, the paper itself) and made
a recommendation for acceptance or rejection. The secondary PC member did
not know the identity of the authors.
A two-day PC meeting was held with 33 of the PC members present. Each
paper received fair considerationin a three-phase decision process.
– First stage: Initial acceptance of papers ranked very high by both the re-
viewers and the secondary PC member. Initial rejection of papers ranked
very low by both the reviewers and the secondary PC member.
– Second stage: groups of five to seven PC members ranked the remaining
papers and again selected the best papers and rejected the lowest ranking
papers.
– Third stage: a different set of groups selected the best papers from the re-
maining undecided papers and rejected the rest.
The PC finally accepted 251 papers, giving a 30% acceptance rate.
VI Preface
We are greatly indebted to the reviewers and to the members of the PC for
theirextraordinaryeffortsassessingandevaluatingthesubmissionswithinavery
short time frame.
In 2011, attendees saw two changes in the way the program was organized.
All accepted papers were presented as posters, and a subset of these were also
invited for oral presentation, which were organized in clinical themes rather
than by methodology as in earlier years.Poster sessions were organizedin their
traditional technical themes as in the past.
In addition to the main 3-day conference, the annual MICCAI event hosted
an increased number of satellite tutorials and workshops, organized on the day
before andthe day after the main conference.This year’scallfor submissionfor
tutorialsandworkshopsledtoarecord21workshopsand8tutorialsacceptedby
a committee headedby Randy Ellis (Queen’s University)andPurangAbolmae-
sumi (University of British Columbia). The tutorials provided a comprehensive
overviewofmanyareasinboththeMICandCAIdomains,offeringauniqueed-
ucational forum for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The workshops
presented an opportunity to present research, often in an early stage, to peer
groups in a relaxed environment that allowed valuable discussion and feedback.
The workshop subjects highlighted topics that were not all fully covered in the
main conference, and thus added to the diversity of the MICCAI program.
In reviewing the proposalsfor these events,emphasis was given to workshop
submissions that provideda comprehensiveand interactive forum to address an
openprobleminMICCAI.Wealsopromotedtutorialsthatrelatedtoanexisting
sub-disciplineofMICCAI withknownmaterials,approachesandopenproblems
tohelptrainnewprofessionalsinthe field.Amongthe acceptedworkshops,sev-
eral focused on emerging trends in the field of multi-modal statistical atlases,
advancedcomputationalandbiomechanicalmodels,andhigh-performancecom-
puting. MICCAI 2011 also hosted eight tutorials that spanned a wide spectrum
of topics in basic and advanced software development for medical image analy-
sis,algorithmsfor image segmentation,registrationand visualization,as well as
those highlighting new techniques in image-guided interventions.We would like
to thank the Workshop and Tutorial Committee for their hard work in putting
together such a comprehensive and unique program.
TwoofthehighlightsoftheconferencewerethekeynotelecturesbytwoCana-
dian scientists. Dafydd (Dave) Williams, physician, astronaut, medical robotics
researcher,and recently, Hospital CEO, opened the conference with a presenta-
tion that looked at lessons that the health care system and medical researchers
could learn from the challenges of space travel. The second keynote was given
byMarkHenkleman,Directorofthe MouseImagingCentre,TorontoCentrefor
Phenogenomics, who spoke about high-throughput small-animal imaging tech-
niques and quantitative statistical analysis methods for mapping phenotypic
changes associated with genetic disease models in mice.

stitute, the University of Western Ontario,Sunnybrook Research Institute, and
Queen’sUniversityfortheirsupportinensuringthesuccessofthismeeting,and
to the staff at Springerfor their continuedhigh standardsaimedat maintaining
the MICCAI proceedings as the flagship of the LNCS series.
We thank the MICCAI Society Board for trusting us with the mandate to
organize this conference, and to the Board and staff members for valuable and
continuous advice and support through all phases of the project.
A special word of thanks goes to our sponsors, who generously provided
financial support for the conference as a whole as well as for specific activities.
This greatly assistedwith the overallorganizationof the meeting,enabledus to
continue offering best paper awards in various categories, and provided travel
stipends to a significant number of student participants.
It was our greatpleasure to welcome the attendees to Torontofor this year’s
MICCAI conference along with its satellite tutorials and workshops. Next year,
the 15th InternationalConferenceonMedicalImageComputing andComputer-
Assisted Intervention will be held in Nice, France, October 1–5, 2012. We look
forward to seeing you all there.
