This book constitutes revised selected papers from the Third International Workshop on Clinical Image-Based Procedures, CLIP 2014, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2014 in Boston, MA, USA, in September 2014. The 19 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. New strategies are essential to ensure a smooth and effective translation of computational image-based techniques into the clinic. For these reasons CLIP 2014's major focus is on translational research filling the gaps between basic science and clinical applications. A highlight of the workshop is the subject of strategies for personalized medicine to enhance diagnosis, treatment and interventions. Authors are encouraged to submit work centered on specific clinical applications, including techniques and procedures based on comprehensive clinical image data. Submissions related to applications already in use and evaluated by clinical users are particularly encouraged. The event will bring together world-class specialists to present ways to strengthen links between computer scientists and engineers, and clinicians.

The three-volume set LNCS 8149, 8150, and 8151 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2013, held in Nagoya, Japan, in September 2013. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 262 revised papers from 789 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The 86 papers included in the second volume have been organized in the following topical sections: registration and atlas construction; microscopy, histology, and computer-aided diagnosis; motion modeling and compensation; segmentation; machine learning, statistical modeling, and atlases; computer-aided diagnosis and imaging biomarkers; physiological modeling, simulation, and planning; microscope, optical imaging, and histology; cardiology; vasculatures and tubular structures; brain segmentation and atlases; and functional MRI and neuroscience applications.

Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 262 revised papers from 789 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The 95 papers included in the first volume have been organized in the following topical sections: physiological modeling and computer-assisted intervention; imaging, reconstruction, and enhancement; registration; machine learning, statistical modeling, and atlases; computer-aided diagnosis and imaging biomarkers; intraoperative guidance and robotics; microscope, optical imaging, and histology; cardiology, vasculatures and tubular structures; brain imaging and basic techniques; diffusion MRI; and brain segmentation and atlases.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers from the 5th International Workshop on Clinical Image-Based Procedures, CLIP 2016, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2016 in Athens, Greece, in October 2016. The 10 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 submissions. Specific topics include various image segmentation and registration techniques, applied to various parts of the body. They range from interventional planning to navigation of devices and navigation to the anatomy of interest. Clinical applications cover the skull, the cochlea, cranial nerves, the aortic valve, wrists, and the abdomen, among others.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 4th International Workshop on Clinical Image-Based Procedures, CLIP 2015, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2015 in Munich, Germany, in October 2015. The 15 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. CLIP focuses on translational research; therefore, the goal of the works presented in this workshop is to bring basic research methods closer to the clinical practice. A highlight of this workshop is the subject of strategies for personalized medicine to enhance diagnosis, treatment and interventions.
