BBI 2013 - International Workshop on Bioinformatics in Biomedical Imaging

Biomedical imaging techniques have progressed rapidly and a variety of modalities such as MRI, optical imaging, and microarray imaging have been widely used for biomedical research. These biomedical imaging techniques have multiple scales-from organ/tissue level to molecular/cellular level and from nano scale to macro scale, providing comprehensive and systematic information for disease diagnosis. An example is the genomic imaging, which combines fMRI and microarray imaging for correlating genomic information with phenotypical differences. With the advancement of these multiscale biomedical imaging techniques, more and more imaging data are produced, calling for powerful data analysis.
The goal of this workshopis to bring together researchers working in the fields of biomedical imaging analysis and imaging bioinformatics to address the challenges in the field, to exchange latest research results, and promote the development of novel imaging data analysis techniques. Following the successful workshop last year in conjunction with BIBM’12 at Philadelphia, we organize the workshop again with a focus on the interface of bioimaging and bioinformatics.
Topics of interest include all aspects of computational biomedical imaging and data analysis including, but not limited to, the following areas:
Integration of multiscale imaging data
Mutiscale modeling from both imaging and genomic data
Image segmentation and registration
Image-guided diagnosis and interventions
Shape and motion estimation
Three-dimensional reconstruction and analysis
Tracking and motion analysis in biomedical images
New applications of computational biomedical imaging
