Scope

The 2nd International Workshop on Medical Image Analysis and Description for Diagnosis Systems (MIAD) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in medical and biomedical images processing domain. The workshop will also offer the opportunity to fill the gap between academic researchers, practitioners and industrial parts. MIAD encourages authors to submit papers to one of the main topics indicated below, describing original work, including methods, techniques, advanced prototypes, recent advances in acquisition devices (CT-Scan, MRI, 3D Ultrasound, molecular imaging), applications, diagnosis systems and tools.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
› 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
› Medical C.B.I.R systems
› Computer aided diagnosis systems
› Biological Data Visualization
