Thanks to scientific and technological advances in many parallel
fields, medical procedures are rapidly evolving towards solutions
which are less invasive and more effective. In the previous
decades, information processing in diagnostic imaging provided many
solutions to physicians in particular within radiology, neurology,
cardiology, nuclear medicine and radiation therapy departments. In
the last decade, progress in computer technology, imaging and
mechatronics has allowed computer-assisted intervention (CAI)
systems and solutions to penetrate the intervention and operating
rooms. CAI’s major challenge in the beginning of the twenty-first
century is real-time processing, analysis and visualization of
large amount of heterogeneous, static and dynamic patient data, and
understanding of surgery for designing intelligent operating rooms
and developing advanced training tools. Excellent scientists,
engineers and physicians have created many advanced research groups
around the world and are starting to provide innovative,
breakthrough solutions. Information Processing in Computer-Assisted
Interventions (IPCAI) aims at gathering the best work in this field
and allowing authors to present and discuss it in detail. IPCAI
wishes to select and present the highlights of research in CAI and
aims at distinguishing itself for the quality of the presented
papers and the excitement and depth of the discussions they
generate.
