Abstract Due: 9 August 2023
Manuscript Due: 31 January 2024
This conference will cover all aspects of image formation in medical imaging, including systems using ionizing radiation (x-rays, gamma rays) or non-ionizing techniques (ultrasound, optical, thermal, magnetic resonance, or magnetic particle imaging). Papers of a theoretical nature, or reporting new experimental results, or describing applications of artificial intelligence techniques are invited. Topics of particular interest include novel methods for image formation, experimental methods and results regarding image performance, algorithms for image reconstruction and correction, detector materials and electronic design, analytical and computer modeling of imaging systems, and physics of contrast media. Work directed toward the imaging of human subjects, small animals, or tissue specimens are welcome.
The conference will also cover various specific imaging applications resulting from the above-mentioned general imaging framework, for example cardiovascular or neuroimaging applications.
Original papers are especially requested in the following areas.
Please select a minimum of two topics and a maximum of three topics, in order of preference. Choose only ONE TOPIC in each CATEGORY. If you have any questions, please contact the Conference Program Coordinator.
Category ONE:
