CALL FOR PAPERS: ISBI'06

2006 IEEE International Symposium on

BIOMEDICAL IMAGING: FROM NANO TO MACRO

http://www.biomedicalimaging.org/

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 2005
------------------------------------------------------------------------

We invite you to participate in the Third IEEE International Symposium
on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI'06), to be held April 6-9, 2006, at the
Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, Virginia, USA. This meeting
continues to play a leading role in facilitating interaction between
researchers in medical and biological imaging. Fostering cross-
fertilization between different imaging communities, it aims to
contribute to an integrative approach to biomedical imaging across
all scales of observation.

ISBI is a joint initiative of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS)
and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS), in
cooperation with the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and
Bio-engineering (NIBIB). The meeting will feature an opening morning of
tutorials and short courses, followed by an exciting scientific program
of plenary talks and special sessions as well as oral and poster
presentations of peer-reviewed contributed papers.

High-quality papers are solicited containing original contributions to
the mathematical, algorithmic and computational aspects of biomedical
imaging, from nano- to macro-scale. Four-page papers should be submitted
using the online submission system on the ISBI'06 website. All papers
will be reviewed. Accepted papers will be published in the CD-ROM
proceedings distributed at the symposium and will afterwards also be
made available online through the IEEE-Xplore database.

Contributions are solicited in the following areas:

METHODS
Image restoration, enhancement, segmentation, classification,
registration, fusion, storage and retrieval, quality assessment, coding,
compression; tomographic reconstruction; sampling and interpolation;
multiresolution methods; tensor and vector field analysis; color and
multispectral processing; image sequence processing; motion detection
and analysis; texture segmentation and analysis; neural, adaptive, and
fuzzy methods; probabilistic and statistical methods; monte carlo
methods; random field methods; partial differential equations; active
contours; level sets; atlas-based methods; deformable models;
mathematical morphology; visualization.

MODALITIES
Microarrays; photo-acoustic imaging; optical and fluorescence
microscopy; optical coherence tomography; atomic force microscopy;
