<p>**************************************************************************</p>
<p><b>MIUA 2017: 21st Medical Image Understanding and Analysis
Conference</b></p>
<p>**************************************************************************<br>
</p>
This will take place in Edinburgh (UK) from July 11th – 13th 2017.
Paper submission deadline will be on February 24th, 2017.<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://miua2017.wordpress.com/">MIUA</a>
is a forum for communicating research progress within the community
interested in biomedical image analysis. Its goals are the
dissemination and discussion of research in medical image processing
and analysis, and aims to encourage the growth and raise the profile
of this multi-disciplinary field.<br>
<br>
The conference constitutes an excellent opportunity to network,
generate new ideas, establish new collaborations, learn and discuss
on different topics, listen to proffered speakers of international
reputation, present and show medical image analysis tools and even
experience the delights of a genuine Scottish ceilidh!<br>
<br>
This year, for the first time, <b>in addition to the traditional
papers</b>, the conference accepts clinical abstracts showing the
applicability of image analysis methods. <br>
<b>Accepted full papers</b> will appear in the conference
proceedings and, in addition, will be published by Springer in the
Communications in Computer and Information Sciences series, <a
href="http://www.springer.com/series/7899">Springer CCIS</a>,
indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews,
SCImago and Scopus. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the
inclusion in ISI Proceedings.<br>
<br>
<b>Accepted clinical abstracts</b> will be only included in the
conference proceedings and published online. In the conference, they
will be presented as traditional posters in portrait A0 format. A
selection of abstracts will be also invited for a 2-minutes oral
presentation on a dedicated session at the event. <br>
<br>
<b>Technical Paper Submission:</b><br>
Papers should describe original and unpublished work on the topics
of the conference. Prospective authors<br>
should prepare a full paper, written in English, between 8 and 12
pages and must submit it electronically.<br>
Further information can be found on the conference <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://miua2017.wordpress.com/abstracts/">website</a>.<br>
Each paper will be blind-reviewed by at least two reviewers and will
be accepted based on its<br>
originality, significance and clarity. For accepted papers to be
published, at least one author has to register<br>
and present the work at the conference.<br>
<br>
<b>Clinical Abstract Submission:</b><br>
Submitted abstracts should fit on one A4 page. Calibri font with
minimum font size of 11 is preferred. The page margins should be no
less than 1 cm on left and right hand sides and no less than 2 cm on
top and bottom. Abstracts could be uploaded via the Conference <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://miua2017.wordpress.com/abstracts/clinical-abstract-form/">website</a>.
However, if the abstract contains figure(s) and/or table(s), it
needs to be sent via e-mail to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
