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.
The published deadline has passed. Check the official page in case it has been extended, or browse the open listings.

Is your work a fit? Check before you submit
- The work makes a methodological contribution to biomedical imaging, not only an application of existing tools.
- The abstract presents a clear problem, method and quantitative result within one page.
- Datasets, evaluation metrics and comparisons are described sufficiently for reviewers to judge the claims.
- The submission route is correct: a one-page abstract or, for challenge participants, a challenge paper.
- 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
- Medical physics and imaging science
- Applied mathematics

What Reviewers Typically Value
- New algorithms or models that address a clearly stated limitation of current imaging methods.
- Careful quantitative evaluation against relevant baselines on appropriate data.
- Methods that generalise across scanners, sites, modalities or biological systems.
- Work that connects computational advances with a meaningful clinical or biological question.
Ideas You Could Develop
Your Plan to the Deadline
A suggested schedule working back from 1 February 2027. Adjust it to the stage your work has reached.
By 21 Dec 2026
Open the official call for abstracts; confirm the tracks, word limit, format and author rules.
By 4 Jan 2027

By 18 Jan 2027
Draft the structured abstract to the word limit, with results stated as numbers.
By 25 Jan 2027
Circulate to co-authors and an independent reader; revise.
By 30 Jan 2027
Final checks: title, author affiliations, conflicts of interest and track selection.
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
- Acknowledgement: the abstract system confirms receipt; keep the submission number.
- Review: the scientific committee scores abstracts against the track criteria.
- Decision: accepted abstracts are assigned to an oral, poster or e-poster session.
- Registration: presenting authors usually must register by a stated date.
- 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.
