/// EG VCBM 2012 - First Call for Papers & Posters /// Eurographics Visual Computing in Biology and Medicine (EG VCBM) /// http://www.vcbm.org/
EG VCBM will be held September 27-28, 2012 in Norrköping, Sweden, and addresses state-of-the-art visualization and image analysis research with an application in biology and medicine. EG VCBM solicits the submission of original application-oriented research papers that advance the fusion of visualization and image analysis within imaging-based medicine and biological science. All papers should focus on a well- defined biological or medical problem, and should demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in visual computing.
Covered Topics
