Computer Aided Geometric Design

Special Issue on Medical Volume Modeling and Visualizaton

High quality scientific papers that focus on medical modeling and visualization in three dimensions are sought for a special issue of the journal of Computer Aided Geometric Design. A submitted paper may be either theoretical or experimental; research surveys will also be considered.

Typical, but not exclusive, topics include

• Algorithms of three dimensional segmentation, reconstruction, visualization techniques for CT, MRI and PET images
• Optimization of sampling strategies for volume image acquisition
• Co-registration of multiple image modalities
• Motion analysis and time dependent visualizations
• Elastic anatomical models and deformations
• Representation issues of anatomical, physiological information

The submission deadline is January 31, 1997. Submissions should be prepared following the standard practices of the journal and should be sent to the guest editor, Chandrajit Bajaj, Department of Computer Sciences, 1398 CS Building, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907-1398, USA, bajaj@cs.purdue.edu. If you are considering the submission of a paper or require additional information, please contact the guest editor. Electronic submission (postscript or pdf) is acceptable.
