Medical Image Processing

The 10^th International Meeting on Fully Three-Dimensional Image Reconstruction in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine will be held in Beijing, China in September 5-10, 2009. Topics include:

• Mathematical and numerical aspects of fully 3D image reconstruction.
• 3-D and 4-D image reconstruction techniques for PET, SPECT, CT, and MRI.
• Dynamic (4D) tomographic imaging.
• Improvement of system performance, by accurate system model in 3D reconstruction, in 3D reconstruction.
• Optimization of geometry and sampling strategies for 3D acquisition.
• Assessment of image quality of 3D reconstructed images.

Further a workshop on high performance image reconstruction will be held on 6th September.

The deadline for manuscript submission (IEEE 2-column format, 4-page, in PDF) is April 3, 2009.

The International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) 2009 will be held from 20th to 24th September 2009 in London, UK.

The deadline for paper submission has been extended to 15th March. However, you need to register your paper until 8th March.

More details are given on the conference site: http://www.miccai2009.org.

Today is the grand opening of this new blog with the focus on medical image processing. So why another blog? The field of medical imaging is wide and diverse and one cannot cover all topics. This site aims to be a collection of everyday information coming across ones mind and problems that need to be solved. The topics will range from 3-D image reconstruction, segmentation. paper & book discussions, hardware acceleration, software libraries and programming tips.  So don’t let us spend to much words on what we are going to do … let’s just start off doing it!
