Aims & Scope

The purpose of the journal Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics is to act as a source for the exchange of research results concerning algorithmic advances, development, and application of digital imaging in disease detection, diagnosis, intervention, prevention, precision medicine, and population health. Included in the journal will be articles on novel computerized imaging or visualization techniques, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, augmented reality for surgical planning and guidance, big biomedical data visualization, computer-aided diagnosis, computerized-robotic surgery, image-guided therapy, imaging scanning and reconstruction, mobile and tele-imaging, radiomics, and imaging integration and modeling with other information relevant to digital health. The types of biomedical imaging include: magnetic resonance, computed tomography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, X-ray, microwave, optical and multi-photon microscopy, video and sensory imaging, and the convergence of biomedical images with other non-imaging datasets.
