The three-volume set LNCS 7510, 7511, and 7512 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2012, held in Nice, France, in October 2012. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 252 revised papers from 781 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The second volume includes 82 papers organized in topical sections on cardiovascular imaging: planning, intervention and simulation; image registration; neuroimage analysis; diffusion weighted imaging; image segmentation; computer-assisted interventions and robotics; and image registration: new methods and results.

Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 252 revised papers from 781 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The third volume includes 79 papers organized in topical sections on diffusion imaging: from acquisition to tractography; image acquisition, segmentation and recognition; image registration; neuroimage analysis; analysis of microscopic and optical images; image segmentation; diffusion weighted imaging; computer-aided diagnosis and planning; and microscopic image analysis.

FIMH 2009 was the ?fth international conference on Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart. It was held in Nice, France, during 3-5 June 2009. This biennial scienti?c event presents research and development e?orts in the ?eld of cardiovascularmodeling and image analysis to better understand the physiology and pathologies of the human heart. The ?nal objective is to improve the di- nosis and therapy of cardiac diseases, which remain a major health issue in the western world and in Asia. This internationalconference is fostering the collaborationbetween scientists invarious?elds(signalandimageprocessing, biophysics, biomedicalengineering, robotics, computerscience, appliedmathematics, etc. )andexpertsincardiology, radiology, surgery, biology and physiology.

  This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Symposium on Surgery Simulation and Soft Tissue Modeling, IS4TM 2003, held in Juan-Les-Pins, France in June 2003. The 33 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on soft tissue models, haptic rendering, cardiac modeling, and patient specific simulators.

A collection of 16 papers forming the Acts of the XIVth UISPP Congress, University of Liege, Belgium, 2-8 September 2001 . The papers address the application of 3-D imaging in archaeology, the pitfalls involved, methodology and its use for reconstruction purposes with relation to prehistoric case studies."
