Medical Image Perception Society Conference XI

摘要

In the autumn of 2005, the Medical Image Perception Conference XI represented the successful continuation of a meeting that began in 1985. Originally the meeting was called the Far West Image Perception Conference since it was first held in Utah. A variety of sites then hosted the conference over the years, but the name Far West was retained - mostly for sentimental reasons. However, in 1998 the Medical Image Perception Society (MIPS) was formed to further organize members of the image perception community and MIPS became the official sponsor of the meeting. Therefore, the name was changed in 2001 to the MIPS Conference. MIPS XI was held in Windermere, UK, on 27-30 September 2005, at the Low Wood Hotel and Conference Centre. This represents the first international venue for MIPS and we were quite successful in attracting a much broader international audience than in past years.
