*******************************************************

IPMI '99 
is the XVIth in the series of biennial conferences on 
Information Processing in Medical Imaging. Computational 
techniques play a vital and ever expanding role in 
medical imaging. This conference is the latest in a 
series of unique and important meetings where new 
developments in the acquisition, analysis and display of 
medical images are presented, discussed, dissected and 
extended.

The meeting is held in the style of a workshop. By 
tradition, attendance is by application, and will be 
limited to 130 people for 1999. All participants are 
expected to make an active contribution by presenting 
papers, posters or demonstrations, and by joining 
discussions. There are no parallel sessions. Generous 
time is allocated to speakers and for discussion.
