Preface
IPMI occupies an important position in the scientific calendar. Every two years, it brings together leading researchers in medical image formation, analysis and interpretation, for an international workshop that allows extensive, in-depth discussion of new ideas. Many of the most influential developments in the field were first presented at IPMI, and the series has done much to foster a rigorous scientific approach to information processing in medical imaging. IPMI 2003 was held over 5 days in July 2003 at St. Martin’s College, Ambleside, in the heart of the English Lake District. Full papers were invited on any aspect of information processing in medical imaging, with particular encouragement for submissions exploring generic mathematical or computational principles. Recognizing the rapidly evolving nature of the field, we encouraged a broad interpretation of medical imaging: from macroscopic to molecular imaging; from applications in patient care to those in
