The FIMH 2011 is the Sixth International Conference on Functional Imaging and Modeling of the Heart. This biennial scientific event aims to integrate the research and development efforts in the fields of cardiovascular modeling and image analysis at a range of scales and imaging methods. The main goal is to encourage interaction and collaboration among more technical scientists (e.g., in imaging, signal and image processing, applied mathematics, biomedical engineering and computer science), biologically oriented experts (e.g., in cardiology, radiology, physiology and biology) and clinicians with a common interest in the heart. It will include overview talks and original research reports, with more informal interdisciplinary discussions of current topics.

Note: The conference proceeding (LNCS 6666) is now available online. You can find information about it at this link, or access the online version at this link
