Call for Chapters: Handbook of Research on Advanced Techniques in Diagnostic
Imaging and
Biomedical Applications
 
Editors: T.P. Exarchos, A. Papadopoulos, D.I. Fotiadis
 
Unit of Medical Technology and Intelligent Information Systems, 
Dept. of Computer Science, University of Ioannina,
Ioannina GR 45110, PO Box 1186, Greece.
 
The Handbook of Research on Advanced Techniques in Diagnostic Imaging and
Biomedical Applications will include most recent state of the art
methodologies in the area
of biomedical imaging in Diagnostic and Decision Support Systems and their
applications in
clinical practice. Its main task is the integration of several types of
biomedical images from
simple to fused forms in diagnostic and biomedical applications. The
handbook of research
will provide methods and techniques concerning the integration of medical
and biological
images into diagnostic and decision support systems towards more reliable
diagnostic,
prognostic and therapeutic procedures. The integration of biomedical images
and intelligent
up-to-day methodologies will provide advanced diagnostic tools with high
interpretation
efficiency. The handbook of research will provide the state of the art, as
well as, the latest
developments and results from researchers in the field. The handbook will
also include
extensive references within each article which an interested reader may wish
to pursue.
Topics include but are not limited to:
 
• Diagnostic and Decision support systems and biomedical applications based
on
medical images
o Conventional X-ray imaging
o Computed tomography imaging
o IVUS imaging
o Angiographic imaging
o Magnetic resonance imaging
o Cardiac imaging
o Neuroimaging
o Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography imaging
o Positron Emission Tomography
o Mammography imaging
• Interpretation and decision support of biological images
o Microarray imaging
o Chromosome imaging
o Cell imaging
o Molecular imaging
• Theoretical and technical aspects of biomedical image analysis/processing
o Image segmentation
o Image registration
o Image feature extraction
o Image reconstruction
o Image fusion
• Decision support systems and applications of biomedical imaging
o Classification methodologies
o Knowledge based methods
o Black box approaches
o Data mining
 
Invited Submissions: Individuals interested in submitting chapters (4,000 -
6,000 words) on
the above-suggested topics or other related topics in their area of interest
should submit via email
a 1-2 page manuscript proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns
of the
proposed chapter by September 21, 2007. We strongly encourage other topics
that have not
been listed in our suggested list, particularly if the topic is related to
the research area in
which you have expertise. Upon acceptance of your proposal, you will have
until February
29, 2008, to prepare your chapter of 4,000-6,000 words and 7-10 related
terms and their
appropriate definitions. Guidelines for preparing your paper and terms and
definitions will be
sent to you upon acceptance of your proposal.
 
Please forward your e-mail of interest including your name, affiliation and
a list of topics on
which you are interested in writing a chapter to Themis Exarchos, editor, at
exarchos at cc.uoi.gr no later than September 21, 2007. You will be notified
about the status
of your proposed topics by October 22, 2007. This book is tentatively
scheduled for
publishing by Information Science Reference (formerly Idea Group Reference)
(an imprint of
IGI Global), www.info-sci-ref.com in 2008.
 
All chapter proposals and full chapters should be forwarded to:
Themis Exarchos at exarchos at cc.uoi.gr
