MIUA 2011 is the 15th in the series of successful annual meetings and will be held on the Guy's Hospital campus of King's College London. The meeting prides itself on attracting papers on a wide range of topics from a variety of viewpoints, offering many opportunities for discussion and inspiration. MIUA is a single-track meeting with oral and poster presentations. All accepted contributions will be published and the full proceedings will be available at the conference and on-line. Selected papers will be invited for publication in the on-line journal, Annals of the BMVA and prizes will be awarded for the best work. Technical papers (5 pages) are solicited on any topic within the scope of the conference. Each paper will be evaluated by three reviewers. Challenge abstracts (1 page) are also solicited. These should outline challenging image-analysis applications and/or unsolved problems from a clinical perspective. They can be regarded as a "cry for help" or a way of raising awareness of interesting applications in the community. Contributions from across the spectrum of medical image analysis - from technical advances to novel practical applications - are welcome. Contributions from both inside and outside the UK are welcomed and encouraged. The conference will take place on the Guy's Campus of King's College London located adjacent to London Bridge Station which is easily accessible by train, tube and other public transport. The campus is just south of the river Thames, close to the river-bank and local amenities and attractions including Tower Bridge.
