18th International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions (IPCAI 2027)

IPCAI 2027, the 18th International Conference on Information Processing in Computer-Assisted Interventions, is held with CARS in Berlin from 28 to 30 June 2027 and covers computer-assisted interventions and surgical data science. The regular full-paper deadline has passed, so this guide covers topic areas, checks and ideas for long abstracts, accepted until 15 January 2027.

Conference on computer-assisted interventions and surgical data science; the regular full-paper deadline (30 October 2026) has passed, but long abstracts are accepted until 15 January 2027.
Submission types
Abstracts; confirm formats and word limits on the official page

Topics consistent with the programme

  • Surgical navigation, intraoperative imaging and image-guided interventions
  • Surgical data science, workflow analysis and video understanding
  • Medical robotics and robot-assisted surgery systems
  • Augmented and mixed reality for interventional guidance
  • Machine learning for intraoperative decision support and skill assessment
  • Tracking, registration and calibration methods for interventional systems

Based on the published scope; the official page sets out the full themes and requirements.

Is your work a fit? Check before you submit

  1. The work concerns information processing for computer-assisted interventions or surgical data science.
  2. The long abstract states the problem, method and results clearly within the required format.
  3. Evaluation uses phantom, cadaver, animal or clinical data appropriate to the claims.
  4. Ethical approval is in place and reported where human or animal data are used.
  5. A complete, co-author-approved long abstract is submitted before 15 January 2027.

Why This Conference Matters

Computer-assisted interventions are changing how procedures are planned, guided and evaluated, and surgical data science is opening new ways to learn from operating room data. Moving these technologies into routine use requires robust methods, careful validation and close work between engineers and clinicians. IPCAI offers a focused forum for this community, and its long abstract route gives researchers a way to present recent or ongoing work after the full-paper deadline.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Medical image computing
  • Surgical robotics
  • Computer vision
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Surgery and interventional radiology

Institutions and sectors

  • Universities and engineering research groups
  • Surgical and interventional departments of teaching hospitals
  • Medical robotics and navigation companies
  • Translational research institutes

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. Methods that address real constraints of the operating room, such as latency, accuracy and workflow fit.
  2. Validation that progresses beyond simulation towards phantom, preclinical or clinical settings.
  3. Datasets, benchmarks or tools that support reproducible research in surgical data science.
  4. Close collaboration between technical and clinical researchers reflected in the study design.

Ideas You Could Develop

Surgical phase recognitionA long abstract on a video-based model for recognising surgical phases, evaluated on annotated laparoscopic recordings.
AR guidance accuracy studyAn abstract measuring registration accuracy of an augmented reality overlay in a phantom-based needle insertion task.
Robotic skill assessmentAn abstract describing automated assessment of trainee performance from robotic system kinematic data.

Your Plan to the Deadline

A suggested schedule working back from 15 January 2027. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.

  1. By 4 Dec 2026

    Open the official call for abstracts; confirm the tracks, word limit, format and author rules.

  2. By 18 Dec 2026

    Agree the key result, the authors and the presenting author.

  3. By 1 Jan 2027

    Draft the structured abstract to the word limit, with results stated as numbers.

  4. By 8 Jan 2027

    Circulate to co-authors and an independent reader; revise.

  5. By 13 Jan 2027

    Final checks: title, author affiliations, conflicts of interest and track selection.

  6. By 15 Jan 2027

    Submit through the official abstract system before the deadline.

What you gain

  • Feedback from peers working on the same questions.
  • A citable abstract or proceedings paper.
  • Contacts for collaboration, employment and future funding.
  • A step towards a full journal article.

What happens after you submit

  1. Acknowledgement: the abstract system confirms receipt; keep the submission number.
  2. Review: the scientific committee scores abstracts against the track criteria.
  3. Decision: accepted abstracts are assigned to an oral, poster or e-poster session.
  4. Registration: presenting authors usually must register by a stated date.
  5. Publication: accepted abstracts or papers may appear in the conference proceedings or journal supplement.

What the Organisers Are Looking For

IPCAI seeks work on information processing in computer-assisted interventions, including surgical data science, navigation, robotics and intraoperative imaging. With the full-paper deadline passed, long abstracts are the remaining route and suit recent results or work in progress with a clear technical contribution. Authors should confirm abstract length, format and presentation arrangements on the official conference website.
