For its 10th edition, it is a great pleasure to present this special issue of IJCARS—international conference on information processing for computer-assisted interventions (IPCAI). IPCAI 2019 will be held at Le Couvent Des Jacobin, Rennes Convention Center, France, on June 18–19, 2019, in conjunction with the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) Congress. With a first edition in 2010, the IPCAI meeting has continued to provide a leading forum to discuss the latest developments in computer-assisted interventions (CAI). With a strong emphasis on research and practice, CAI focuses on computer-based tools and methodologies to support medical interventions with the overall objective to enable precise and safe systems for minimally invasive medical interventions. Hence, the domain is heavily anchored in bringing forward novel developments in enhanced planning, real-time imaging, instrument guidance and visualization, as well as situation awareness and cognition. To promote translational research, the IPCAI meetings seek to showcase papers presenting novel technical algorithms and theory, clinical applications and hardware as well as software systems and their validation. One differentiating aspect of IPCAI is that submitted manuscripts are expected to be of journal quality, with the goal to publish all accepted manuscripts in this special volume of the International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (IJCARS). To this end, the IPCAI review process was rigorous and involved evaluation of each manuscript by two Area Chairs and at least three external reviewers. Authors were able to provide a revised version of their manuscript and a response to reviewers based on the reviewers’ comments. The revised manuscripts were subject to an additional review process, ensuring that all reviewers’ critiques were properly addressed, and that the quality was appropriate for journal publication. Prior to acceptance, manuscripts were discussed by the Program Chairs, Program Board members and the Conference chairs. For this year’s edition, IPCAI received 61 manuscript submissions, spanning a strong geographic representation from Europe, North America and Asia. In total, 35 manuscripts were accepted for presentation at IPCAI 2019. Accepted manuscripts reflected breadth of key topics in CAI and include: (i) Interventional imaging; (ii) Surgical planning and simulation; (iii) Tracking and navigation; (iv) Augmented reality and user interfaces; (v) Image processing and instrumentation for CAI; (vi) Interventional robotics; and (vii) System evaluation and validation. As in previous years, the 2019 IPCAI meeting is designed to encourage interactions between attendees and allow time for constructive discussion. All authors of accepted manuscripts are invited to present their work in an initial short 5-min presentation. To this, each manuscript is also presented as a poster during a dedicated interactive session. The conference attendees will also be asked to vote for papers that they would like to see discussed further. The papers with the highest number of votes will be presented in extended * Raphael Sznitman raphael.sznitman@artorg.unibe.ch
