Overview
Signal processing as a traditional discipline offers powerful and well
studied tools for analysis of spatial and temporal data. Lately there have
been great interest in life sciences and healthcare to process, store,
analyze continuous signals from a variety of sources such as: all
modalities in imaging diagnostics (ultrasound, x-ray, computerized
tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, functional MRI), continuous
physiological monitoring, audio and video monitoring, and high throughput
measurements of the processes at molecular level. Each modality presents
its own problems and combined together, analysis of all this data can
enable fast discoveries in genomics, life sciences and healthcare. In this
context, multimedia signal processing and analysis has ubiquitous
application in medical systems and life sciences.
Call for papers
In this special issue we will cover different aspects of multimedia signal
processing and systems in Life Sciences and Healthcare. We are
particularly interested in areas where multimedia has had most impact with
focus on multimodal systems in:
o behavior analysis in neuroscience
o multimedia data analysis for high throughput biology
o mining multimedia health data in healthcare
o signal processing in Decision Support Systems
o genomic signal processing
