Workshop "Medical Imaging Systems" within EUROSIS EUROMEDIA 2008 April 9-11, 2008, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal http://www.eurosis.org/cms/index.php?q=node/461 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In recent years, extensive research has been performed to develop more and more efficient and powerful medical imaging systems. Such systems are crucial for medical specialists, allowing a deeper analysis and to understand what is going inside the human body, and therefore they play an essential role for adequate medical diagnosis and treatments. To accomplish efficient and powerful medical imaging systems, many research works have being done in many domains, like the ones related with medical image devices, signal processing, image processing and analysis, biomechanical simulation and data visualization. The main goal of the Workshop "Medical Imaging Systems" is to bring together researchers involved in the related domains, in order to set the major lines of development for the near future. Therefore, the proposed Workshop will consist of researchers representing various fields related to Medical Devices, Signal Processing, Computational Vision, Computer Graphics, Computational Mechanics, Scientific Visualization, Mathematics and Medical Imaging. The Workshop endeavours to contribute to obtain better solutions for more efficient and powerful medical imaging systems, and attempts to establish a bridge between clinicians and researchers from these diverse fields. The proposed Workshop will cover topics related with medical imaging systems, such as: image acquisition, signal processing, image processing and analysis, modelling and simulation, computer aided diagnosis, surgery, therapy, and treatment, computational bioimaging and visualization, software development, virtual reality and telemedicine systems and their applications. Due to your research activities in the field, we would like to invite you to submit a contributed paper. Your contribution is mostly welcomed and we would be honoured if you could participate in EUROMEDIA 2008.
