Description
The CAR conference series, now in its 12th year, focuses on new computer assisted tools for radiology and surgery. Held annually in cities of internationally renowned excellence in medical care, CAR supports worldwide cooperation towards the common goal of improving health care. Many professionals from the medical and physical sciences have responded to this need by participating in CAR and, in so doing, enhance the quality by active and direct information exchange.

This volume contains a vast number of papers on the rapidly advancing field of biomedical image computing and is of interest to not only physicians but also to industries providing products and services for health care.
