Call for papers - 
6th International Seminar on Medical Image Processing and Analysis  SIPAIM 2010

The 6th International Seminar on Medical Image Processing and Analysis
will be held December 1-4, 2010, in the city of Bogota (Colombia). As
in previous editions, this seminar is the appropriate space to bring
together researchers (both students and professionals - mainly related
to Medical Imaging) to communicate their results, developments and
research experience and to promote the creation of technical and
scientific collaboration networks.

This event is intended for researchers, teachers, students and
professionals in a wide range of disciplines including Engineering,
Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Biology and Health
Sciences. The seminar will include lectures by both National and
international experts on issues related to acquisition, digitization,
visualization, processing and analysis of Medical
Images. Contributions accepted by the seminar's Evaluation Committee
will be presented in oral or poster sessions. In addition, several
tutorials related to the topic of the seminar will be offered to the
attendants.

This edition of the seminar is thought to enhance interaction between
researchers (as new knowledge producers) and medical professionals (as
end-users of such knowledge) through a special session focused on the
presentation of research experiences and clinical applications; this
session will be held on the seminar's first day, and specific works
with relevant contributions in the area will be welcome for oral
presentation.

For regular sessions, authors are invited to submit original
unpublished manuscripts with a maximum of 8 pages (following the
format specified in
http://www.sipaim.unal.edu.co/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=11&lang=en
), containing original contributions on methodological, algorithmic,
mathematical, computational and applied issues of Medical Imaging. The
papers accepted for presentation will be published in the proceedings
of this event (with ISBN). Extended versions of the best papers will
apply to be published as indexed journal articles.
