Special Issue on Medical Applications of Computer Graphics
 
Paper submission deadline: January 31, 2008
 
The field of computer graphics has impacted a number of application domains. An area where computer graphics has made significant advances is medicine. Medical volume visualization, in particular, has a long and active history in the computer graphics community. This special issue will provide a forum to explore the enormous potential that computer graphics holds for medical applications and will be a catalyst for future applications of graphics in the medical community. The emphasis will be on technical novelty as opposed to novel medical applications of well-known techniques. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
 
• Tissue simulation and modeling physiology
• Surgical simulations
• Segmentation and image processing
• Graphics hardware for medical computing
• Augmented reality in medicine
• Image-based modeling and rendering in biomedical domains
• Image-guided surgery
• Interactive medical visualization
