Ieee Transactions On Medical Imaging

IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging encourages manuscripts on imaging of body structure, morphology and function, including cell and molecular imaging and all forms of microscopy. It publishes original contributions on medical imaging using modalities such as ultrasound, X-rays, magnetic resonance, radionuclides, microwaves, and optical methods, with emphasis on novel acquisition techniques, image processing and analysis, visualization, pattern recognition, machine learning, and related methods. The journal focuses on unifying medicine, biology, and imaging across instrumentation, hardware, software, mathematics, physics, biology, and medicine, and particularly encourages strong application papers that describe novel methods.
