Medical Imaging and Informatics Call for Papers PURPOSE: MIMI 2007 is providing an ideal and unique opportunity for scientists, engineers and clinicians to exchange their most up-to-date research, methods, and technologies in the field of biomedical image and informatics. The conference emphasizes on the topics of how to integrate the efforts from both scientific/engineering and medical/clinical communities. Expanded and enhanced versions of selected top conference papers published in the conference proceedings will be published in the special issue of Journal of Computer Methods & Programs in Biomedicine (EI, SCI indexed). The presented conference papers will be published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science as post-conference proceedings (subject to the satisfaction of LNCS on the standard of the papers). SCOPE: Contributions are sought on new and original research and clinical results on any aspects of medical imaging and biomedical informatics, The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Medical Imaging, Image Processing -CT, MRI, PET, SPECT image -acquisition and analysis -Data-driven and model-driven image segmentation -Co-registration and image fusion -Integrated medical image analysis -DICOM and IHE -Image compression techniques -Functional image analysis -Nuclear medicine -Optical imaging -Ultrasound imaging -Surgery simulation and navigation -Virtual reality and augmented reality -Quantitative validation Medical Informatics PACS -e-Health and e-Hospital -Tele-medicine and Tele-surgery -Standard in Health Informatics and cross-language solutions -Computer-Aided Diagnostic -Diagnosis (CAD) -Intelligent data analysis and data mining -Data representation and visualization -Medical data sharing -Health informatics education -Biomechanics, modeling and computing -Reliability and Medical errors IMPORTANT DATES: New Deadline for Extended Abstract or Proposal - March 15 , 2007 Notification of Acceptance - April 15 , 2007 Deadline for final paper (maximum 6 pages) - April 30 , 2007 Registration deadline - July 20, 2007 The Conference Websites: http://www.mitime.org/mimi2007.html http://www.digitalhuman.net.cn
