Dear all,
MICCAI 2011, the 14th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, was held last week in Toronto, Canada. MICCAI annually attracts world leading scientists, engineers and clinicians from a wide range of disciplines associated with medical imaging and computer assisted surgery. This year it was the largest gathering of the MICCAI series with about 1,100 attendees.
Members of the Queen’s School of Computing had a pivotal role in this grand event:
- Gabor Fichtinger served as general and program co-chair.
- Randy Ellis and Purang Abolmaesumi served as workshop and tutorial program co-chairs.
- Parvin Mousavi and Purang Abolmaesumi served as Program Committee Members.
- James Stewart managed the scientific review system.
- Andras Lasso and Thomas K. Chen were the event photographers.
- Sacha Robinson managed the airport transportation and help desks.
- More than 15 other Queen’s students and postdocs assisted in running the five-day event flawlessly.
Our researchers, just as every year, were prominently featured at MICCAI:
- Gabor Fichtinger was inducted as MICCAI Society Fellow.
- Ehsan Dehghan was finalist for the Young Scientist Award. (He won the same award last year) .
- The Queen’s team had two podium papers (4% acceptance rate) and five regular papers (30% acceptance rate).
Other pictures from the event are available.
Congratulations to all on an impressive showing by the QSC on the world stage.
