INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IMAGING SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY

As imaging science/technology matures it becomes clear that it is more than an assorted collection of methods and devices each invented for a specific application. It is striking that the same ideas are used in such allegedly diverse fields as medical tomography and astronomy in searching for patterns in radar images as well as in quality control in the textile industry. What seems to be a fundamental unifying feature in all aspects of imaging is the brain's (still not well-understood) ability to parallel process an image and to simultaneously receive an array of data which would be impossible if received in numerical form. Some devices and algorithms are successful precisely because they strive to imitate or exploit this ability. Hence there is a need for a forum that can be used by people working on new principles of imaging its various hardware and software aspects algorithms and their derivations and their applications. The International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology fills this need. It emphasizes unified approaches to various applications. By bringing together ideas and people working in different fields the Journal hopes to encourage interaction and cross-fertilization . Imaging is a multidisciplinary area. Hence the International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology welcomes papers authored by physicists mathematicians engineers statisticians computer scientists as well as end users - radiologists geologists astronomers. The scope of the Journal includes but is not limited to the following: Acoustical imaging; Biophysical imaging; Computer vision; Cosmological imaging; High definition television; Medical imaging; Microscopy; Multidimensional image processing and tomography; Nuclear and particle physics imaging; Optical imaging and holography; Pattern recognition; Physiological imaging; Radar and synthetic aperture imaging; Seismic and geophysical imaging. All the submitted papers are reviewed by at least two referees. The editors try to maintain very high standards and papers are judged primarily on the ideas they contain novelty and relevance. All submitted papers should be sent to: Professor Z. H. Cho Department of Radiological Sciences University of California Irvine CA 92127

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IMAGING SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY期刊中文简介

随着成像科学/技术的成熟，很明显，它不仅仅是为特定应用而发明的各种方法和设备的集合。令人惊讶的是，在医学层析成像和天文学等据称不同的领域，同样的想法被用于搜索雷达图像中的模式以及纺织工业中的质量控制。在成像的各个方面，似乎是一个基本的统一特征，那就是大脑（仍然不太清楚）能够并行处理图像，同时接收一组数据，如果以数字形式接收，这是不可能的。一些设备和算法之所以成功，正是因为它们努力模仿或利用这种能力。因此，有必要设立一个论坛，供从事成像新原则的人们使用，包括各种硬件和软件方面的算法及其派生和应用。《国际成像系统与技术杂志》满足了这一需求。它强调对各种应用程序的统一方法。《华尔街日报》希望通过将不同领域的思想和工作人员汇集在一起，鼓励相互交流和交叉施肥。影像学是一个多学科领域。因此，国际成像系统与技术杂志欢迎物理学家、数学家、工程师、统计学家、计算机科学家以及最终用户——放射科医生、地质学家、天文学家——撰写的论文。该杂志的范围包括但不限于：声学成像；生物物理学成像；计算机视觉；宇宙学成像；高清晰度电视；医学成像；显微镜；多维图像处理和层析成像；核和粒子物理成像；光学成像和全息照相；模式识别；生理成像；雷达和合成孔径成像；地震和地球物理成像。所有提交的文件都由至少两名裁判员审查。编辑们试图保持很高的标准，而论文的评判主要是基于它们所包含的新颖性和相关性。所有提交的论文应发送至：加州欧文大学放射科学系Z.H.Cho教授，邮编92127。
