*********************** FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS *************************

2010 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI)

To be held 14-17 April 2010, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Four-page paper submission deadline: 2 November 2009

See http://www.biomedicalimaging.org/ for details

The IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) is the 
premier forum for the presentation of technological advances in 
theoretical and applied biomedical imaging. ISBI 2010 will be the 
seventh meeting in this series. The previous meetings have played a 
leading role in facilitating interaction between researchers in medical 
and biological imaging. The 2010 meeting will continue this tradition of 
fostering crossfertilization among different imaging communities and 
contributing to an integrative approach to biomedical imaging across all 
scales of observation.

ISBI is a joint initiative of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) 
and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). The 
2010 meeting will feature an opening morning of tutorials, followed by a 
scientific program of plenary talks, special sessions, and oral and 
poster presentations of peer-reviewed contributed papers. 

Confirmed Plenaries:
* Richard Ehman (Mayo Clinic, USA)
  Topic: New clinical imaging technologies
* Jason Swedlow (University of Dundee, UK)
  Topic: Challenges in bioimage informatics
* Clemens Lowik (Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands)
  Topic: Molecular imaging and applications
* Milan Sonka (University of Iowa, USA)
  Topic: Challenges in biomedical image analysis

High-quality papers are solicited containing original contributions to 
the mathematical, algorithmic, and computational aspects of biomedical 
imaging, from nano- to macro-scale. Topics of interest include image 
formation and reconstruction, computational and statistical image 
processing and analysis, dynamic imaging, visualization, image quality 
assessment, and physical, biological, and statistical modeling. Papers 
on molecular, cellular, anatomical, and functional imaging modalities 
and applications are welcomed. All accepted papers will be published in 
the proceedings of the symposium and will be available online through 
the IEEE Xplore database.
