CFP: Special Issue:  Image-guided Intelligent Interventions

Journal of Medical Robotics Research (JMRR) seeks articles for a Special Issue on Image-guided Intelligent Interventions. There has been significant research in the past few years on integrating multimodal image-guidance with intelligent instrumentation and robotics to provide context-specific information to the interventionalist while improving the precision and accuracy of the procedures. We are now at a point where such intelligent image-guidance is becoming a reality.  The goal of this special issue is to highlight the technical and clinical challenges in designing and developing systems and algorithms for enabling image-guided intelligent interventions.

Aims and Scope

Some of the topics of the special issue include:

1.    Image-guided Robotics
2.    Image-based planning and targeting
3.    Clinical workflow analysis
4.    System integration — software framework including middleware, hardware/software interface, and communication protocol
5.    Registration and calibration
6.    Surgical Navigation
7.    Image servoing and guidance
8.    Sensor fusion
9.    Machine learning and decision-systems
10.  Novel real-time imaging
11.  User experience
12.  Validation
13.  Clinical trials
