International Journal of Biomedical Imaging

  Special Issue on

  Development of Computed Tomography Algorithms

  Call for Papers

Over the past several years, computed tomography (CT) methods
have advanced significantly, yielding novel analytic and iterative
solutions applicable to medical CT and micro-CT. The resulting
algorithms promise to improve spatial, contrast, or temporal
resolution with suppressed artifacts and reduced radiation dose.
Significant attention has been devoted to optimizing computational
performance and to balancing conflicting requirements. Both
theoretically oriented and application-specific issues are also
being addressed. The number of CT papers presented at various
conferences and symposia has been increasing steadily, which
motivates us to edit a special issue as a snapshot of the
dynamically changing field of CT.

The International Journal of Biomedical Imaging (IJBI) follows
the Open Access model and publishes accepted papers on the web
and in print. It targets rapid review, permanent archiving, high
visibility, and lasting impact. In this special issue, the topics
covered will include, but are not limited to, the following areas,

 1. Closed-form approximate or exact fan-beam/cone-beam
    image reconstruction
 2. Algebraic or statistical iterative reconstruction
 3. High-performance reconstruction schemes
 4. Numerical or experimental comparison of representative
    algorithms
 5. CT/micro-CT image analysis and visualization
 6. Biomedical applications
 7. Emerging ideas related to CT/micro-CT
