ICGVIP Theme Session:Trends in Medical Image Analysis

Theme session: Medical Imaging as part of ICVGIP 2008

Overview
The theme session will address various aspects of medical imaging, especially, computational anatomy, which involves developing computerized methods to process and analyze medical images. The talks will concentrate on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is currently one of the most widely used non-invasive imaging techniques in clinical practice for disease investigation and for studying treatment effects. Its growing use in clinical studies and drug trials, has provided an impetus for the development of sophisticated mathematical and computerized methods for processing and analyzing MRI data, which has gained tremendously from research in physics, mathematics, vision and visualization. The talks aim at providing researchers an advanced and comprehensive state-of-the-art overview of the area of medical imaging. Potential candidates are graduate students, post-doctoral students, computational researchers and clinically oriented researchers who would like a deeper insight into this exciting field.
