Due to the multidisciplinary nature of these fields, the society brings together researchers from several scientific disciplines.

The society is best known for its annual flagship event, The MICCAI Conference, which facilitates the publication and presentation of original research on MICCAI-related topics.

Prominent examples of computer aided interventions currently in widespread use include image guided biopsy and robot-assisted surgery.

Integral to this research area is effective human-computer interaction and user interface design.

[41] In addition to the proceedings of the annual conference, MICCAI officially partners with two peer reviewed scientific journals: "Medical Image Analysis" published by Elsevier[42] and "The International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery" (IJCARS) published by Springer Nature.

[43] These journals loosely correspond to the "MIC" and "CAI" focuses of the MICCAI Society respectively, but they have substantial overlap in subject matter.
