IPMI occupies an important position in the scienti? c calendar. Every two years, it brings together leading researchers in medical image formation, analysis and interpretation, for an international workshop that allows extensive, in-depth d- cussion of new ideas. Many of the most in? uential developments in the ? eld were ? rst presented at IPMI, and the series has done much to foster a rigorous sci- ti? c approach to information processing in medical imaging. IPMI 2003 was held over 5 days in July 2003 at St. Martin’s College, - bleside, in the heart of the English Lake District. Full papers were invited on any aspect of information processing in medical imaging, with particular - couragement for submissions exploring generic mathematical or computational principles. Recognizing the rapidly evolving nature of the ? eld, we encouraged a broadinterpretationofmedicalimaging: frommacroscopictomolecularimaging; from applications in patient care to those in biomedical research. We received 123 submissions by the deadline in February 2003. Each paper was reviewed by four members of the Scienti? c Committee, placing particular emphasis on originality, scienti? c rigor, and biomedical relevance. Papers were selected for the meeting by a Paper Selection Committee, based on reviewers’ rankings and theirdetailedcomments. Atotalof28paperswereacceptedasoralpresentations and 29 as posters. Unfortunately, the standard was so high that we had to turn down many excellent papers.
