FAQs

Can I submit medical imaging work to a non-medical conference? 

Yes — many computer vision conferences accept medical imaging topics. But if your work is fundamentally medical, a dedicated venue like IPOR 2026 usually offers a better-matched audience and reviewers.

Do these conferences cover clinical validation studies? 

Each event sets its own scope. ISAIMS and SHWID tend to be receptive to application-driven and clinical-adjacent work; confirm with each call for papers.

What should I check about data and ethics requirements? 

Medical research raises data-privacy and ethics considerations. Review each conference's submission guidelines early, and prepare the relevant approvals before submitting.
