Medical Image Analysis provides a forum for the dissemination of new research results in the field of medical and biological image analysis, with special emphasis on efforts related to the applications of computer vision, virtual reality and robotics to biomedical imaging problems. The journal publishes the highest quality, original papers that contribute to the basic science of processing, analysing and utilizing medical and biological images for these purposes. The journal is interested in approaches that utilize biomedical image datasets at all spatial scales, ranging from molecular/cellular imaging to tissue/organ imaging. While not limited to these alone, the typical biomedical image datasets of interest include those acquired from:

    Magnetic resonance
    Ultrasound
    Computed tomography
    Nuclear medicine
    X-ray
    Optical and Confocal Microscopy
    Video and range data images

The types of papers accepted include those that cover the development and implementation of algorithms and strategies based on the use of various models (geometrical, statistical, physical, functional, etc.) to solve the following types of problems, using biomedical image datasets: representation of pictorial data, visualization, feature extraction, segmentation, inter-study and inter-subject registration, longitudinal / temporal studies, image-guided surgery and intervention, texture, shape and motion measurements, spectral analysis, digital anatomical atlases, statistical shape analysis, computational anatomy (modelling normal anatomy and its variations), computational physiology (modelling organs and living systems for image analysis, simulation and training), virtual and augmented reality for therapy planning and guidance, telemedicine with medical images, telepresence in medicine, telesurgery and image-guided medical robots, etc.

Special Issue on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention – MICCAI 2024
Submission Date: 2025-03-31

This special issue on MICCAI 2024 presents a selection of the award-winning and award-shortlisted papers from the Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention conference that took place in Marrakesh, Morocco in October 6-10, 2024. The authors of these papers were invited to submit a substantially extended version of their work presented at the conference. The special issue guest editors and reviewers evaluated the paper quality, originality, and fit with the scope of the journal. This special issue was prepared to be presented at MICCAI 2025 in Daejeon, South Korea.
