The three-volume set LNCS 9349, 9350, and 9351 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2015, held in Munich, Germany, in October 2015. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 263 revised papers from 810 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: quantitative image analysis I: segmentation and measurement; computer-aided diagnosis: machine learning; computer-aided diagnosis: automation; quantitative image analysis II: classification, detection, features, and morphology; advanced MRI: diffusion, fMRI, DCE; quantitative image analysis III: motion, deformation, development and degeneration; quantitative image analysis IV: microscopy, fluorescence and histological imagery; registration: method and advanced applications; reconstruction, image formation, advanced acquisition - computational imaging; modelling and simulation for diagnosis and interventional planning; computer-assisted and image-guided interventions.

The four-volume set LNCS 11070, 11071, 11072, and 11073 presents the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2018, held in Granada, Spain, in September 2018. It includes 373 revised full papers selected from 1068 submissions through a double-blind review process. The papers are organized into several topical sections: Part I covers Image Quality and Artefacts, Image Reconstruction Methods, Machine Learning in Medical Imaging, and Statistical Analysis for Medical Imaging. Part II focuses on Optical and Histology Applications, including Optical Imaging, Histology, Microscopy, and Optical Coherence Tomography, as well as various cardiac, chest, and abdominal imaging applications. Part III addresses Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Diffusion Weighted Imaging, Functional MRI, and Human Connectome, along with Neuroimaging and Brain Segmentation Methods. Part IV delves into Computer Assisted Intervention, discussing Image Guided Interventions, Surgical Planning, Visualization, and Augmented Reality, as well as various Image Segmentation Methods, including General Segmentation, Multi-Organ, and specific segmentation techniques for abdominal, cardiac, and lung applications.

The 1st and 2nd International Conferences on Functional Imaging and Modelling of the Heart (FIMH) took place in Helsinki, Finland, in November 2001, and in Lyon, France, in June 2003. These events emerged from a successful scientific collaboration between France and Finland, expanding to include various groups and establishing a biennial tradition. FIMH aimed to unite researchers from diverse yet often isolated fields such as cardiac imaging, signal and image processing, applied mathematics, biomedical engineering, computer science, cardiology, radiology, biology, and physiology. The initial editions garnered enthusiastic participation from experts across these disciplines. While FIMH began as a European initiative, it has increasingly attracted attendees from the US and Asia. The latest edition saw the highest number of submissions to date, with 47 papers accepted for oral presentations or posters, reflecting a growing interest from non-EU institutions. Each paper underwent a thorough review process by up to four reviewers. The accepted contributions were organized into eight oral sessions and three poster sessions, along with several invited talks. This year, efforts were made to maximize oral presentations to encourage active participation and foster multidisciplinary discussions.
