Dear reader, As a busy year for the community draws to a close, I think we should all take a moment to reflect on just how much has been achieved. Despite the challenges we continue to face, we’ve seen some awesome events and so much innovation in 2021. I hope we all get the chance to meet again in person at one of the many planned events in 2022. There is so much to look forward to! Computer Vision News has continued to grow this year, and we are now two magazines in one! We have been receiving great feedback about our new supplement, Medical Imaging News, and this month we have the very first edition of MedTech Spotlight News , building on the success of AI Spotlight News in the main magazine. You can find it on page 44. Also this month, we speak to Professor Russell Taylor , one of the founders of MICCAI and a pioneer of Robotic Assisted Surgery. He talks to us about the state of the art in computer-enhanced interventional medicine and his perspective on the future of the field. You don’t want to miss his exclusive interview on page 30! We have an exclusive preview of the upcoming NeurIPS workshop ImageNet: past, present, and future , also featuring Olga Russakovsky, one of the original creators of ImageNet. Find out more on page 12. Last but not least, you’re all invited to an exciting webinar called Emerging Technologies in AI for Surgical Imaging on December 8. Head to page 45 to get your individual access link. We have much more to offer this month, so enjoy the reading, and remember to share our link with your friends and colleagues so they can subscribe for free !
