1Welcome Please wear your badge all the time. Only MICCAI 2005 participants wearing a badge will be authorized to access the conference site and to attend the scientific program. It is our pleasure to welcome this year’s MICCAI 2005 attendees to Palm Springs. MICCAI has become a premier international conference with in-depth papers on the multidisciplinary fields of medical image computing, computer-assisted intervention and MICCAI Organization Office medical robotics. The conference brings together clinicians, biological scientists, computer The MICCAI Organization office is located in the Celebrity Room which is connected to scientists, engineers, physicists and other researchers and offers them a forum to exchange the Grand Ballroom. ideas in these exciting and rapidly growing fields. The impact of MICCAI increases each year and the quality and quantity of submitted Tutorials and Workshop papers this year was very impressive. We received a record 632 full submissions (8 pages in length), an increase of 22% from 2004, from 36 different countries and 5 continents. We The tutorials and workshop will take place in the Desert Conference Center (DCC). are grateful to everyone who participated in the review process; committee members and Refreshments will be provided during coffee breaks. Participants will need to organize reviewers donated a large amount of time and effort to make these volumes possible and lunch individually either at the Riviera or at nearby local restaurants. insure a high level of quality. The Program Committee finally accepted 236 full papers, with 46 papers chosen for podium presentations and 190 as poster presentations. An Podium Presentations and Poster Teasers additional 34 short presentations will be presented as short posters. We look forward to welcoming you to MICCAI 2006, to be held October 2-4 2006 Podium presentations and poster teaser presentations will take place in the Mediterranean in Copenhagen, Denmark, and chaired by Mads Nielsen. Room, a room with a unique decor reminescent of the glory days of Hollywood. Each presenter will need to contact the session chair and equipment staff well ahead of the October 2005 session to avoid technical problems. We encourage each presenter to bring the talk on James Duncan and Guido Gerig a CD or memory stick to be uploaded to the onsite computer. Poster Teaser presenters will get exactly 45 seconds to introduce their research, their slides need to be uploaded by October 1st.

This approach has the promise of making imaging analyses possible in the systems with limited access to the embryos (e.g. mouse) or in which light scattering renders deep structures invisible (e.g. frog). 5 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS 9 6 SITE MAP RIVIERA 10

5.2 Art Toga, UCLA “Mapping the Structure and Function of the Brain: Where we are and we want to be”, Saturday Oct. 29th, 11.00 – 12.00

Professor Arthur W. Toga Laboratory of Neuro Imaging Department of Neurology, UCLA School of Medicine 710 Westwood Plaza, Rm 4-238 , Los Angeles, CA 90095-1769 toga(at)loni.ucla.edu http://www.loni.ucla.edu/

Professor Arthur Toga is the director of LONI ((Laboratory of Neuro Imaging), one of the country’s foremost neurological research centers. LONI works towards uncovering new knowledge that will lead to better health for everyone by conducting research and building population-based and disease-specific digital brain atlases, helping in the training of research investigators; and fostering communication of medical information.

Abstract: The ability to statistically and visually compare and contrast brain image data from multiple subjects is essential to understanding normal variability and differen- tiating normal from diseased populations. This talk describes some of these approaches and their application in basic and clinical neuroscience. There are numerous probabilistic atlases that describe specific subpopulations, measure their variability and characterize the structural differences between them. Utilizing data from structural MRI, we have built atlases with defined coordinate systems creating a framework for mapping data from functional, histological and other studies of the same population in several species. This talk describes the basic approach and some of the constructs that enable the calcu- lation of probabilistic atlases and examples of their results from several different normal and diseased populations. The talk will also illustrate some approaches useful in under- standing multidimensional data and the relationships between them over time. Finally, there will be challenges identified for future mapping and modeling between modalities, time, subjects and species.
