Conference Workshops
Medical Imaging Systems
Efficient and powerful medical imaging systems have been assuming a growing and crucial importance in medicine, allowing to deeply examination and understanding on the human body and, therefore, playing an essential role for adequate diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
To accomplish more efficient and powerful medical imaging systems, many research works have been done in many domains, such as the ones related with medical image devices, signal processing, image processing and analysis, biomechanical simulation and data visualization.
The main goal of the Workshop “Medical Imaging Systems” is to bring together researchers involved in the related domains, in order to set the major lines of development for the near future.
The Workshop “Medical Imaging Systems” will consist of researchers representing various fields related to Medical Devices, Signal Processing, Computational Vision, Computer Graphics, Computational Mechanics, Scientific Visualization, Mathematics, Medicine, Medical Imaging and Hardware Manufacturers. The Workshop endeavours to the contribution of obtaining better solutions for more efficient and powerful medical imaging systems, and attempts to establish a bridge between clinicians, researchers and manufacturers from these diverse fields.
The Workshop "Medical Imaging Systems" will cover topics related with (not exhaustive):
- image acquisition
- signal processing
- image processing and analysis
- modelling and simulation
- computer aided diagnosis
- surgery, therapy, and treatment
- computational bioimaging and visualization
- software development
- virtual reality
- telemedicine systems and their applications
- assistive technology
- computational anatomy
- medical robots
- imaging devices
- hardware systems

cultrd-it.tv Workshop
Scope:
In contrast to traditional TV DTV is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound by means of digital signals. It uses digitally compressed modulation data, which requires decoding by a specially designed television set or a standard receiver (set-top box) as well as via PC-TV based on ADLS (VDSL). Digital Television has several advantages regarding technically as well as content and programme related aspects. One of the most significant is the use of a smaller channel bandwidth. This frees up space for more digital channels, other non-television services such as pay-multimedia services and the generation of new revenue models based on interactive advertisement and marketing features. Furthermore there are special services such as multicasting (more than one programme on the same channel), electronic programme guides and interactivity providing a wider range of application.
Accordingly within the last year a growing up of specialised digital TV channels (Special Interest Channels) has to be observed European wide. This new growing up stream is mainly characterised by the phenomena of merging television (TV) and information technology (IT) know how, methods and techniques.
In this context the workshop targets to show up the development in both directions: the technically aspects as well as the content and programme issues. It provides a presentation and discussion platform for exchanging experiences made within the establishment as well as the maintenance of digital special interest channels. Main focus will be to point out the interdependencies and the mutual influences of technically streams and content respectively service related issues.
Topics:
- Broadband Television
- Interactive Television
- IPTV - Web-TV
- DVB-H, DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C
- MHP & Interactive Television
- Set-Top-Boxes
- Full Digital Production Chain Management
- Digital-Video-Journalism
- DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)
- FreeTV & PayTV
- Interactive Video
- Interactive Advertising Formats
- Event Oriented Interview Formats
- Event Driven Program Schemes & Formats
- Mobile Content
- Cross-Format Content & Knowledge Pooling
- Cross-Media Content Production & Distribution
- Indexing and Retrieval of Digital Content
- Semantically Enrichment of Digital Content
- Security & Digital Rights Management (DRM)
- Watermarking & Copyrights & Protection
- Cross-platform productions on TV Media-Convergence
- Peer-to-peer Grid TV Applications
Organised by Dr. Hans-Joachim Nern, cultrd-it.tv, Germany.
