Third International Workshop on Medical Image Analysis and Description for Diagnosis System, Algarve, Portugal

The Third International Workshop on Medical Image Analysis and Description for Diagnosis System will take place on 1 to 4 February 2012 in Algarve, Portugal.

Research and development in the area of instrumentation, image acquisition, modeling and quantification are often in the fields of biomedical engineering, medical physics and computer science. Many of the techniques developed for medical imaging also have scientific and industrial applications. Overall, medical imaging as a field of scientific investigation constitutes a sub-discipline of biomedical engineering, medical physics or medicine, depending on the context.

The event aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the medical and biomedical images processing domain. The workshop will try to fill the gap between academic researchers, practitioners and industry. Topics on the conference programme are set to include:
- medical and biological imaging;
- multi-dimensional microscopy imaging;
- image processing for biological systems;
- medical images filtering, restoration and segmentation;
- image representation and analysis;
- feature extraction and image description;
- artificial intelligence and evolutionary based image processing;
- classification tools for image-based diagnosis;
- tracking algorithms in live cell imaging;
- methods in diagnosis optimization;
- medical imaging systems technology;
- computer aided diagnosis systems;
- biological data visualisation.For further information, please visit http://www.biostec.org/MIAD.asp(opens in new window)
