Description
Over the centuries, the macroscopic view of the human being has been enhanced with an anatomical and functional degree of detail, such that no physician can no longer memorise this wealth of information. With modern imaging tools, the information which may be obtained from a particular patient will move further from the macroscopic to the microscopic detail. This information will neither be imprinted on film or paper nor stored in the PC, but will, rather, reside on the network. Intelligent processing and management of this imaging information contributes to new possibilities for computer assisted diagnosis and therapy.

CARS 2000 focuses on these computer and communication tools. Radiologists, surgeons, computer scientists and engineers from over 40 countries are actively supporting these aims of CARS. This demonstrates that advancing patient care is best served by international and interdisciplinary cooperation, and this publication of the CARS proceedings will play a fundamental role in the attainment of that goal.

It is particularly important for all professionals and researchers in the field to have access to a resource documenting the stream of innovations in healthcare, such as evolutionary algorithms, natural interfaces, micro and nano technology-based devices and ubiquitous access to the Internet, which is revolutionising computer assisted medicine in this new century.
