Per Luis question
we have just modified the CFP after comunicating and getting the ok
from Nicholas Ayache and Jim Duncan
which reflects that it is best that you send us the paper as pdf. NO
PAPER COPY REQUIRED
since this will help us in getting the reviews faster.
Here is the revised call for proposals.
Thanks

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Medical Image Analysis (MedIA) on
on Segmentation and Registration using ITK, October 2004
Published by
Elsevier Science
Call For Papers
Submission Deadline For Full Papers, September 15, 2003
Guest Editors
Dimitris Metaxas, Rutgers University
Terry S. Yoo, National Library of Medicine, NIH
A special issue of the Medical Image Analysis (MedIA) journal will
be devoted to the topic of segmentation and registration algorithm
development and analysis using the Insight Toolkit (ITK). This
project launched by the National Library of Medicine, NIH in 1999,
has fostered growing interest in the software development
community, and it is beginning to affect new work in image analysis as
well as medical application design. Its position as an open-source
project creates a powerful vehicle for publishing and archiving working
methods as well as enabling rapid development of new applications
using emerging advanced algorithms.
Since ITK began as a collection of existing algorithms and methods
from the medical image processing community, this special issue
will focus on projects and novel work that add value or derive value
from the toolkit: applications and techniques that use ITK, evaluation,
verification, and validation of algorithms and methods through the
available open source software, and new methods, as they emerge, that
are distributed through the toolkit. We are seeking papers covering all
aspects of the analysis process, emphasizing techniques in
segmentation and registration of 3D and higher dimensional medical
data. This call includes papers on visualization, analysis,
perception, and interaction issues.
The special issue will be accompanied by a CD-ROM, so images, source
code, example data, statistical evaluation tools, and test metrics are
strongly encouraged to accompany published materials. If a manuscript
is accepted, the author(s) are required to submit source code, test
data, and software tools for evaluating the results, repeating the
work from the text.
Example topics include but are not limited to:
o Emerging (New) object segmentation tools
o Multimodal registration methods
o Level set applications and algorithms
o Ground truth generation and evaluation for algorithm validation
o Fuzzy and statistical methods for deformable segmentation
o Rigid and deformable registration
o Tools for Medical Visualization using ITK
automated tools, interactive tools, mathematical tools
o Evaluation metrics for segmentation and registration methods
o Application Examples and Case Studies
medical applications ITK
validation trials using ITK
The special issue will consist of peer-reviewed original contributions
and peer-reviewed invited contributions of an explanatory/review type.
We expect to have a fast reviewing process and publish the special issue
less than one year after the deadline for submitting papers (see below).
Manuscripts that are commercial in nature will not be considered.
Manuscripts are reviewed and refereed. Those accepted for
publication are edited for conformance to the journal's style. We
encourage the use of color when required.
For additional information on submissions and manuscript styles
please check the web site at http://www . elsevier . nl/locate/medima/
If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to contact
either of the guest editors.
To be a reviewer for this special issue please contact Dimitris
Metaxas by e-mail with a list of topic areas you would be interested
in reviewing.
