MICCAI 2019

MICCAI 2019 DAILY 7 Leo Joskowicz Dinggang Shen and Tianming Liu are the General Chairs this year and have done so much work to organise the event. Can you tell us something about how it has been to work with them? Dinggang and Tianming really did an outstanding job with their team. It has been a long time in preparation. They decided to include as many groups, workshops and satellite events as feasible, both for the venue and from the technical content, so I just want to congratulate them on an outstanding job which I’m sure people will remember for many years to come… Is there anything else you would like to say to participants? Yes, I very much wish that people go back home highly stimulated and excited about all the possibilities for what technology can do in healthcare. Let’s not forget that in the end we want to improve healthcare and help people. That is the ultimate goal of our research. The MICCAI Daily magazine is not only distributed to participants here, but also to those in our community all over the world who for many reasons were not able to join us. Do you have a word for them? I would say the impact is beyond the physical meeting. It goes to proceedings of the conference and of the different workshops. This establishes a record for many years to come in terms of the latest ideas and techniques and is of great value to people who did not attend the physical event.
