Call for Papers
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing
Special Issue on Molecular and Cellular Bioimaging

(Please feel free to distribute a hard copy of this announcement.)

Advances in fluorescent probing and microscopic imaging technology have 
led to an explosive increase in the acquisition of digital images for 
biological studies. Biologists are now able to address questions 
previously uncontemplated and to improve our understanding of the 
functional organization of biological systems at the molecular, 
cellular, and histological levels. Techniques for automated image 
processing and analysis are already playing a major role in this 
endeavor and will soon become of crucial importance in finding answers.

This special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing will 
publish papers presenting state-of-the-art methods in digital image 
processing and analysis and describing how these methods contribute to 
the understanding of biological mechanisms. Original, previously 
unpublished research and review papers are sought in all areas relevant 
to the field, with particular emphasis on automated image interpretation 
and modeling. Special attention will be given to contributions 
describing methods with a thorough experimental validation.

Papers on all cellular and subcellular imaging modalities are welcome, 
especially those dealing with living cells. Owing to the 
interdisciplinary nature of these contributions, review will typically 
be performed by at least one expert each in the fields of computer 
vision and quantitative biology.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the 
Information for Authors as published in any recent issue of the 
Transactions and available on the web at 
http://www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/infotip.html. Note that all 
rules will apply with regard to submission lengths, mandatory overlength 
page charges, and color charges.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically through the online IEEE 
manuscript system, Manuscript Central, at 
http://sps-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/. Authors must follow the
