2027 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI 2027)

ISBI 2027, organised by the IEEE Signal Processing Society and IEEE EMBS, meets in Lausanne from 25 to 28 May 2027 and focuses on mathematical, algorithmic and computational aspects of biomedical imaging. The four-page paper deadline has passed, so this guide covers topic areas, checks and ideas for one-page abstracts, due by 1 February 2027, with challenge papers accepted until 26 February 2027.

Scope
Symposium on mathematical, algorithmic and computational aspects of biomedical imaging; the four-page paper deadline (2 November 2026) has passed but one-page abstracts are accepted until 1 February 2027 and challenge papers until 26 February 2027.
Submission types
Abstracts; confirm formats and word limits on the official page

Topics consistent with the programme

  • Image reconstruction methods for MRI, CT, PET and ultrasound
  • Deep learning for segmentation, detection and classification of medical images
  • Microscopy and cellular image analysis, including quantitative bioimaging
  • Image registration, motion correction and multimodal fusion
  • Uncertainty, robustness and generalisation of imaging algorithms across sites
  • Computational imaging methods evaluated on clinical or biological datasets

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 makes a methodological contribution to biomedical imaging, not only an application of existing tools.
  2. The abstract presents a clear problem, method and quantitative result within one page.
  3. Datasets, evaluation metrics and comparisons are described sufficiently for reviewers to judge the claims.
  4. The submission route is correct: a one-page abstract or, for challenge participants, a challenge paper.
  5. A complete, co-author-approved abstract is submitted before 1 February 2027, or a challenge paper before 26 February 2027.

Why This Conference Matters

Imaging is central to diagnosis, treatment planning and biological discovery, and the methods behind it are changing quickly as learning-based approaches meet established signal processing and physics-based models. ISBI is distinctive in its focus on the mathematical and computational foundations of imaging across scales, from molecules to whole bodies. A one-page abstract offers researchers a way to present recent or ongoing methodological work to a specialist audience, gather feedback and connect with groups working on related problems.

Who Should Submit

Academic backgrounds

  • Signal and image processing
  • Computer vision and machine learning

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. New algorithms or models that address a clearly stated limitation of current imaging methods.
  2. Careful quantitative evaluation against relevant baselines on appropriate data.
  3. Methods that generalise across scanners, sites, modalities or biological systems.
  4. Work that connects computational advances with a meaningful clinical or biological question.

Ideas You Could Develop

Accelerated MRI reconstructionA one-page abstract on a physics-informed network for undersampled MRI reconstruction, evaluated against compressed sensing baselines.
Cross-site segmentation robustnessAn abstract assessing how a segmentation model degrades across scanners and testing a domain adaptation strategy.
Cell tracking in time-lapse microscopyAn abstract describing a tracking method for live-cell microscopy, with accuracy measured on annotated sequences.

Your Plan to the Deadline

A suggested schedule working back from 1 February 2027. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.

  1. By 21 Dec 2026

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

  2. By 4 Jan 2027

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

  3. By 18 Jan 2027

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

  4. By 25 Jan 2027

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

  5. By 30 Jan 2027

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

  6. By 1 Feb 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

The symposium is looking for work on the mathematical, algorithmic and computational aspects of biomedical imaging. At this stage, one-page abstracts suit recent results, ongoing projects or work that complements previously published methods, while challenge papers apply to those taking part in the symposium’s challenges. Clear methodological content and quantitative evaluation are likely to be valued. Authors should confirm abstract format and presentation arrangements on the official contributors page.

FAQs

Questions Researchers Ask

The next published deadline is 1 February 2027. Dates can change, so confirm them on the official page before you plan your work.

Publication arrangements for one-page abstracts can differ from those for four-page papers. Authors should check the official contributors page for how abstracts are reviewed, presented and archived before relying on them as a formal publication.

The official page lists abstract submission; check it for any full paper or proceedings option.

Yes. Pubrica’s specialists can review, write, edit and format your abstract, paper, poster or slides. You remain the author and the person responsible for the submission.
