CARS 2008

CARS is an event in which the international community in computer aided surgery and radiology meets. Despite its high rate of acceptance, the strong presence of international groups makes the event particularly interesting. CARS is also one of the only conferences including special sessions on medical workflow. This year we have two long papers in this field. We also have one long and one short accepted papers on IVUS-VH imaging.
