Special Session on: "PDE-Based Modeling in Medical Imaging Analysis"

 Tuesday December 20, 2005 

Supervised by: Prof. Dr. Aly A. Farag

Partial Differential Equations (PDE) have been used extensively in medical image analysis and offer a great promise in soft tissue modeling. In conjunction with the GVIP-05 International Conference, this special session will be mainly invited talks by a number of prominent researchers in the field, and will also include a selected number of papers which will be evaluated by the organizing committee.  The theme of the special session will be very specific to using PDE models in medical image analysis. The proceedings of the special session will be printed with the GVIP-05 including the papers, presentations, and all videos of the special session (a DVD for the special session may be provided if necessary). The following are the main topics to be covered:

• PDE Models for Surface and Volume Segmentation
• PDE Models for Elastic registration with Shape Information
• PDE Models for Tissue Deformations
• PDE Models for  Medical Imaging Visualization
• Reviews of Basic Principles of PDE Models in Medical Image Analysis

In the above context, papers on level sets, active contours, and finite element simulations of soft tissue models are adequate. All papers must be original and not published in other forums.

 Deadlines:

•  Paper submissions (up to 15 pages single spaced double columns) – Due August 5, 2005

• Notifications – Due August 25, 2005

• Camera Ready – Due September 15, 2005

Submissions are to be sent simultaneously to Dr. Aly A. Farag (farag@cvip.uofl.edu) and GVIP-05 Site: http://www.icgst.com/GVIP05/conference/submission.html. To upload the video please send a request to chuck@cvip.uofl.edu  Make sure that the title of the e-mail follows the following template GVIP_VIDEO_paperID.

Note: Due to the nature of this work a large size file can be anticipated. We will limit the size of the paper to 5.0 MB (PDF) and the sample videos to 100.00 MB or five minutes long. Selected videos will be included in the Video Proceedings.
