Image Processing Techniques for Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences entitled Image-Processing Techniques for Biomedical Applications aims to present recent advances in the generation and utilization of image-processing techniques and future prospects of this key, fundamental, research area. All interested authors are invited to submit their newest results on biomedical image processing and analysis for possible publication in this Special Issue. All papers need to present original, previously unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer-review processes of this journal. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Medical image reconstruction;
• Medical image retrieval;
• Medical image segmentation;
• Deep or handcrafted features for biomedical image classification;
• Visualization in biomedical imaging;
• Machine learning and artificial intelligence;
• Image analysis of anatomical structures and lesions;
• Computer-aided detection/diagnosis;
• Multimodality fusion for diagnosis, image analysis, and image-guided interventions;
• Combination of image analysis with clinical data mining and analytics;
• Applications of big data in imaging;
• Microscopy and histology image analysis;
• Ophthalmic image analysis;
• Applications of computational pathology in the clinic.
