Host Organisations

The Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Society (the MICCAI Society) is dedicated to the promotion, preservation and facilitation of research, education and practice in the field of medical image computing and computer assisted medical interventions including biomedical imaging and robotics, through the organisation and operation of regular high quality international conferences and publications which promote and foster the exchange and dissemination of advanced knowledge, expertise and experience in the field produced by leading institutions and outstanding scientists, physicians and educators around the world. The MICCAI Society is committed to maintaining high academic standards and independence from any personal, political or commercial vested interests.

Established in 2003, the e-Health Research Centre, is a leading national research facility in ICT for healthcare innovations. A joint venture between CSIRO and the Queensland Government, the e-Health Research Centre's Research Program aims to improve the quality and safety of healthcare for individuals and communities through an ICT research program focused on applied outcomes and active adoption by the health system.

The e-Health Research Centre’s Biomedical Imaging research program is developing new tools to analyse and extract valuable information from medical images, such as magnetic resonance imaging (anatomical, functional, spectroscopy), computed tomography, positron emission tomography, ultrasound imaging, molecular imaging, and histology imaging.

The main application domains are:

• Image-guided therapy
• Image-guided surgery
• Surgery simulation
• Computer aided diagnosis
• Therapy monitoring
