CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue Call for Papers - “Multimedia Systems and Applications in
Biomedicine”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aims and Scope

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering: Imaging &
Visualization (http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tciv20/current) invites
submissions to the Special Issue on “Multimedia Systems and Applications in
Biomedicine”.

Advances in computing techniques, data acquisition technology, hardware,
and networks have mutually promoted the development of multimedia analysis
approaches. Many machine learning, signal/image processing, and data mining
algorithms have been successfully developed for multimedia analysis. WIthin
the  multimedia domain, medical data analysis has attracted considerable
attention due in part to the increase of imaging modalities.

Consider the assessment of the functioning of the heart. Physicians have
multiple resources and modalities available, including: auscultation which
can produce a report in text format; electrocardiograms which result in
time series, x-rays saved as images; volumes provided through angiography;
temporal information given by echocardiograms, and 4D information extracted
through flow MRI.

Since gathering medical data is now easier than ever before, existing
multimedia learning methods are expected to embrace new challenges to deal
with large-scale medical data that may share totally different data
distributions or may continuously change over time.

This special issue will serve as a way to set the state of the art in the
advances in multimedia learning methods for various medical applications.
