     We invite you to participate in the                              
 
 Computer Vision Approaches to Medical Image Analysis Workshop    
                        (CVAMIA)    
              http://www.vcl.uh.edu/~cvamia/ 
                                                                  
 that will be held in conjunction with the 8th European Conference on
 Computer Vision (http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/eccv2004/) in Prague, on May
 15, 2004. The meeting will include plenary talks, and oral and poster
 sessions selected from contributed papers.  CVAMIA will serve as a forum
 for researchers involved in all aspects of analysis of medical data
 obtained from the nano, molecular, and cellular levels through
 macroscopic and whole-body systems. 
 
 All accepted papers will be published in a separate volume of
 proceedings by the Springer publishing house.  Twelve page papers should
 be submitted electronically through the website before January 26.
 Contributions are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas:
 
 Methods: image reconstruction; image restoration; sampling &
 interpolation; imaging tensor and vector fields; image segmentation;
 image classification; image registration; atlas-based methods;
 deformable models; lesion detection; image quality assessment; random
 field methods; statistical resampling; motion analysis. 
                                                                  
 Applications: gene expression mapping; molecular imaging; image guided
 surgery and therapy; computer aided diagnosis; functional brain mapping;
 computational anatomy; cancer imaging; cardiac imaging; brain imaging;
 dynamic imaging; interventional imaging; functional imaging.
