Grieving the recent death of his wife, USAF Colonel John Slade dives wholeheartedly into his work to help ease his mourning. With best friend, Major Robert Holden, both men are assigned replenishment flights to McMurray Station in Antarctica, flying an LC-130 transport plane. It is during heated interactions with the stations irrational director, Alexis Smith, that their lives suddenly take a downward spiral as an attempt is made on their lives. Surviving the trauma, John seeks to not only vindicate himself by bringing the perpetrator to justice but also end his grieving, hoping to find the ability to love again.

The three-volume set LNCS 10433, 10434, and 10435 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2017, held inQuebec City, Canada, in September 2017. The 255 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 800 submissions in a two-phase review process. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: Part I: atlas and surface-based techniques; shape and patch-based techniques; registration techniques, functional imaging, connectivity, and brain parcellation; diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) and tensor/fiber processing; and image segmentation and modelling. Part II: optical imaging; airway and vessel analysis; motion and cardiac analysis; tumor processing; planning and simulation for medical interventions; interventional imaging and navigation; and medical image computing. Part III: feature extraction and classification techniques; and machine learning in medical image computing.
