tracking and calibration
image-to-patient registration for surgery and intervention
robotic interventions and surgical tools
robot-assisted tools for patient management
safety and standards for image-guided and robotic procedures
mathematical modeling to guide and understand therapy
modeling and analysis of procedures and workflows
surgical process modeling
techniques in population-based and patient-specific model generation
image-based models for characterization of tissue and disease
medical image-based simulation and training
augmented/virtual/mixed reality visualization
3D/stereoscopic visualization
novel interfaces for therapy and visualization of data
high-performance computing for real-time modeling and/or large dataset visualization
surgical/interventional data science
machine-learning and artificial intelligence for surgical/interventional/therapeutic applications
clinical applications and technology integration
interventional/therapeutic assessment and prediction
other related areas.

Submissions that cross over between this conference and others at SPIE Medical Imaging, and which would be appropriate for combined sessions, are also welcome.
