Medical Image Analysis

Medical Image Analysis is an official journal of the MICCAI Society that publishes original research in medical and biological image analysis, with emphasis on applications of computer vision, virtual reality, and robotics to biomedical imaging problems. It covers biomedical image datasets across spatial scales, from molecular and cellular imaging to tissue and organ imaging, and includes work on algorithms and strategies for visualization, feature extraction, segmentation, registration, longitudinal studies, image-guided surgery and intervention, computational anatomy, computational physiology, telemedicine, telesurgery, and image-guided medical robots.
