Special Issue on “Medical Imaging & Image Processing II”

Medical Imaging is becoming an essential component in various fields of bio-medical research and clinical practice: Neuroscientists detect regional metabolic brain activity from positron emission tomography (PET), functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic resonance spectrum imaging (MRSI) scans; biologists study cells and generate 3D confocal microscopy data sets; virologists generate 3D reconstructions of viruses from micrographs; and radiologists identify and quantify tumors from MRI and computed tomography (CT) scans.[opening paragraph]
