This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Mesh Processing
in Medical Image Analysis MeshMed 2012 held in Nice France in October 2012 in conjunction
with MICCAI 2012 the 15th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer
Assisted Intervention. The book includes 16 submissions 8 were selected for presentation along
with the 3 plenary talks representative of the meshing and 8 were selected for poster
presentations. The papers cover a broad range of topics including statistical shape analysis
and atlas construction novel meshing approaches soft tissue simulation quad dominant meshing
and mesh based shape descriptors. The described techniques were applied to a variety of medical
data including cortical bones ear canals cerebral aneurysms and vascular structures.
