Special Issue on Digital Image Processing Techniques for Oncology
Cancer has been one of the biggest threats to human life for many
years, and is expected to become the leading cause of death over the
next few decades. Based on the statistics of the World Health
Organization (WHO), cancer accounted for 13% of all deaths in the
world in 2005; deaths from cancer are expected to rise in the future,
with an estimated 11.4 million dying due to cancer in 2030. Therefore,
detection and diagnosis of cancer have become a significant area of
research activity in the medical imaging and image processing
communities. Modern imaging technology has already had life-saving
effects on the ability to detect cancer early and to diagnose the
disease more accurately. In order to improve further the efficiency
and veracity of diagnosis and treatment, image processing techniques
are being developed and applied for the detection, recognition, and
analysis of cancer; for the evaluation of the effectiveness of
treatment; and for the prediction of the risk of development of
cancer. The aim of the proposed special issue is to bring together
researchers who work on image processing techniques for the detection
and diagnosis of cancer, and to promote further research and advances
in image processing techniques for oncology.
Original papers, previously unpublished and not currently under review
by another journal, are solicited, addressing one or more of the
following topics:
* Multimodal image registration and fusion for the detection and
diagnosis of cancer
* Content-based image retrieval for the diagnosis of cancer
* Tumor segmentation and quantitative analysis
* Tracking of cancer cells
* Image enhancement for the diagnosis of cancer
* Image-guided treatment of cancer and computer-assisted surgery
* Machine learning for computer-aided detection and diagnosis of cancer
* Image normalization for the detection of cancer
* Image processing for segmentation and localization of cancer
