The 6th International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions, IPCAI 2015, will be held at Hotel NH Collection Barcelona Constanza in Barcelona, Spain on June 24, 2015. The IPCAI series of meetings were created in 2010, as a forum to discuss the latest developments in Computer-Assisted Interventions (CAI). CAI is a field of research and practice, where medical interventions are supported by computer-based tools and methodologies. CAI systems enable precise, safe and minimally invasive medical interventions by providing enhanced planning, real-time imaging, instrument guidance and visualization, as well as situation awareness and cognition. To promote this field of research, the IPCAI meetings seek to showcase papers presenting novel technical algorithms and theory, clinical applications, hardware and software systems and their validation. With substantial support from the scientific community, IPCAI has consistently grown in the past five years in terms of the number of submissions and the presented manuscripts. This year IPCAI received a record number of submissions of 102 manuscripts, almost twice as many as 2014 and with strong representation from Europe, North America and Asia. For the first time, manuscripts accepted at IPCAI 2015 are directly published in IJCARS following minor or major revisions. The review process was, thus, rigorous and involved evaluation of each manuscript by two Area Chairs and at least three external reviewers. Manuscripts were discussed by the Program Board members and the conference chairs prior to acceptance. In total, 40 manuscripts were accepted for presentation at IPCAI 2015, 28 of which are published in this issue. The remaining 12 manuscripts will be published in future IJCARS issues once all required revisions are completed.
The manuscripts reflect the breadth of key topics in CAI and include: (i) Tracking, Navigation and Medical Robotics; (ii) Interventional Imaging and Visualization; (iii) Clinical Applications, Systems, Software and Validation; (iv) Cognition, Classification and Context Awareness; (v) Planning, Simulation, and Patient-Specific Models, and (vi) Intra-operative and Intra-interventional Registration. The format of IPCAI is designed to encourage interaction and allow time for constructive discussion and as such, all authors of accepted manuscripts are asked to deliver fiveminute, short, platform presentations. In addition, each manuscript will be presented as a poster during multiple interactive sessions. The conference delegates will be asked to vote for papers that they would like to see discussed further. The papers with the highest number of votes will be presented in extended format followed by questions from the attendees and the committee members. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Area Chairs, the Program Board and all of the reviewers for their dedication to maintaining the high quality of IPCAI and for selecting outstanding manuscripts that will no doubt stimulate exciting discussions at the meeting. We are grateful to all authors for choosing to submit their manuscripts to IPCAI. The continued success of IPCAI demands our ongoing commitment.
