Special Issue on 
Applications of Neural Networks in Biomedical Imaging/Image Processing
---------------------------------------------------------------------


We invite papers on applications of artificial neural networks 
in biomedical imaging and biomedical image processing to appear
in a special issue of the Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems 
for Signal, Image, and Video Technology.  Some possible areas of 
application are (but not restricted to): pattern recognition and 
feature extraction for computer aided diagnosis and prognosis, 
analysis (quantification, segmentation, edge detection, etc.),
restoration, compression, registration, reconstruction, and quality 
evaluation of medical images. Of particular interest are methods 
that take advantage of the multimodal nature of biomedical image 
data which is available in most studies as well as techniques 
developed for sequences of biomedical images such as those for 
dynamic PET and functional MRI data.


Schedule:

Manuscript submission deadline: August 15, 1996
Notification of acceptance: January 15, 1997
Final manuscript submission deadline: March 1, 1997
Expected publication date: Third quarter of 1997


Prospective authors should follow the regular guidelines for publications 
submitted to journals of Kluwer Academic Publishers except that the 
manuscripts should be submitted to Tulay Adali, guest editor of the 
special issue. Submission instructions for the journal can be found at 
http://www.kwap.nl.
