CLINICCAI 2026: Call for Abstracts
Saturday 21st February 2026
You are kindly invited to submit your translational research on medical image computing, computer-assisted intervention and healthcare robotics for presentation at CLINICCAI 2026, a clinician-centered event held at the 29th edition of the annual MICCAI conference.
Submission deadline: April 15, 2026
The International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) annually hosts over 3,000 biomedical scientists discussing cutting-edge methods and applications in medical imaging and computer-assisted intervention. The sixth edition of CLINICCAI - Clinical Translation of Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Interventions at MICCAI 2026 aims to attract healthcare practitioners interested in discussing how recent methodological breakthroughs in medical imaging, 3D-printing, robotics, deep learning, and other techniques can translate into value for patients and healthcare systems. One of main themes of this MICCAI event is “Clinical Translation Empowered MICCAI” and there will be many important sessions focused on the clinical translation of new technologies in main MICCAI conference
The event will take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in October, 2026. While participating in CLINICCAI 2026, healthcare practitioners are invited to explore the main conference program (October 4-8, 2026) and get inspired by the scientific sessions, workshops, and social activities of the broader biomedical conference.
Healthcare practitioners involved in multidisciplinary research teams or start-ups are strongly encouraged to submit original work focusing on preclinical or clinical translation.
Topics of interest to CLINICCAI include, but are not limited to:
- AI and other techniques for medical image analysis
- Image-guided intervention and surgery
- Surgical data science
- Digital pathology
- Computer-aided diagnosis
- Predictive modeling of risks, diseases, and patients’ outcomes
- Preoperative planning and surgical guidance
- Immersive technologies in radiology and surgery (mixed, augmented, and virtual reality)
- Video-based assessment of surgical procedures
- Medical Foundation Models
- Clinical decision support systems
Abstracts no longer than 600 words should be submitted via Microsoft’s CMT platform by April 15, 2026 according to guidelines available on the website. Submissions will be reviewed by physicians from the CLINICCAI committees and authors will be notified about the decision by May 31, 2026.
Presenting authors must be healthcare practitioners who commit to registering for the conference and travelling to Abu Dhabi. All presentations will compete for the CLINICCAI 2026 Best Presentation Award, to be announced at the end of the event.
We look forward to welcoming you to CLINICCAI 2026!
