* Topics: visualization and image analysis in biology and medicine
* Deadline: June 29, 2012
* Publication: EG published proceedings, three best papers in Computer
Graphics Forum


EG VCBM will be held September 27-28, 2012 in Norrköping, Sweden, and
addresses state-of-the-art visualization and image analysis research
with an application in biology and medicine. EG VCBM solicits the
submission of original application-oriented research papers that advance
the fusion of visualization and image analysis within imaging-based
medicine and biological science. All papers should focus on a well-
defined biological or medical problem, and should demonstrate a
significant innovation or improvement in visual computing.


Covered Topics
==============
Suggested topics for submissions include, but are not limited to:
 * Applications in cardiovascular medicine, radiology, surgery and other
  medical disciplines.
 * Applications in cell biology, molecular biology, developmental biology
  and other biological disciplines.
 * Geometry reconstruction from image data, such as microscopic or
  radiological data.
 * Creation and visual analysis of atlases, databases and ontologies.
 * Interactive segmentation and registration.
 * Multi-field/multimodal visualization and processing.
 * Computer-aided diagnosis and detection.
 * Visual analysis of gene sequence and gene expression data.
 * Visual analysis of proteomics and interactomics data.
 * Processing and analysis of biological pathways and networks.
 * Visualization and simulation for surgical training.
 * Intra-operative guidance for surgery.
 * Perception-based studies with an application in biology or medicine.
