MICCAI 2017 was organized out of Université Laval (Quebec City, Canada) in collaboration with the German Cancer Research Center (Heidelberg, Germany); McGill University (Montréal, Canada); Université deRennes I (Rennes, France); and Université de Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke, Canada). The MICCAI 2017 conference attracted over 1360 world’s leading scientists, engineers, and clinicians, involved in medical image processing, medical image formation, and computer-assisted medical procedures. We received 800 submissions to our call for papers, which were reviewed by the Program Committee, composed of 53 domain experts, alongside>600 reviewers from the community, following an updated and rigorous double-blind review process. Ultimately, 255 manuscripts were accepted, with 45 accepted papers (18%) first authored by female scientists (out of 164 papers submitted by a woman as first author). These 255 papers touched on 15 important thematic groups, namely (number of manuscripts in parentheses): Machine Learning in Medical Imaging Computing (56), FeatureExtraction andClassificationTechniques (23),Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Tensor/Fiber Processing (20), Optical Imaging (18), Functional Imaging, Connectivity and Brain Parcellation (17), Motion and Cardiac Analysis (16), Registration Techniques (16), Atlas and Surface-Based Techniques (14), Interventional Imaging and Navigation (14), Image Segmentation and Modelling (12), Shape and Patch-based Techniques (11), Planning and Simulation for Medical Interventions (11), Airway an Vessel
