CALL FOR PAPERS - EXTENDED DEADLINE: JULY 6, 2008

International Workshop on Computational Intelligence in Medical Imaging
(CIMI 2008)
http://vision.cs.aston.ac.uk/CfP/CIMI2008/

held in conjunction with Int. Conference on Soft Computing as
Transciplinary Science ant Technology (CSTST 2008)

October 27-31, 2008, Paris, France

Nowadays medical imaging provides major aid in many branches of medicine
and enables and facilitates the capture, transmission and analysis of
medical images as well as provides assistance towards medical diagnoses.
Medical imaging is still on the rise with new imaging modalities being
added and continuous improvements of devices\' capabilities. Recently,
computational intelligence techniques (such as neural networks or
evolutionary algorithms) have been employed in various applications in
the area of medical imaging. Approaches based on computational
intelligence have been shown to be advantageous compared to classical
approaches, in particular when classical solutions are hard or
impossible to formulate and analyse. This workshop is envisaged as
a compilation of the latest trends and developments in the field of
computational intelligence in medical imaging.

High quality contributions dealing with the use of computational
intelligence techniques (neural networks, evolutionary computing,
fuzzy logic, rough sets, bayesian approaches, symbolic AI, etc.)
in medical imaging are sought. Topics include, but are not limited
to:-

   *  Intelligent medical imaging systems
   *  Medical image capture
   *  Computational anatomical atlases
   *  Surface and volume registration
   *  Medical image analysis
   *  Medical image motion analysis
   *  Multi-modal image analysis
   *  Image segmentation
   *  Multidimensional data visualisation
   *  Feature extraction and pattern recognition
   *  Statistical methods / population-based analysis
   *  Image guided surgery/therapy
   *  Medical image databases
   *  Functional/molecular/metabolic image analysis
   *  etc.


Paper submission:

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of no more than six (6)
pages in ACM format including results, figures and references. Authors
should submit their papers in PDF format at the conference paper
submission website http://sigappfr.acm.org/cstst08/submission.php by
JULY 6, 2008. At least one authors of each accepted paper is expected
to attend the workshop for presentation. The Workshop proceedings will
be indexed in ACM digital library
