Sensors, Medical Images and Signal Processing:

Summary

Objectives

To summarize excellent research in the field of medical sensor, signal and imaging informatics published in the year 2010.

Method

Synopsis of the articles selected for the IMIA (International Medical Informatics Association) Yearbook 2011.

Results

Current research in the field of sensors, signal, and imaging informatics is characterized by theoretically sound techniques and evaluations with focus in imaging informatics. When compared to research on sensors and signals, imaging research represent the majority of published papers in 2010. Research published in 2010 was characterized by an increased participation of the clinicians in the study design, implementation and validation of computerized diagnosis aid tools.

Conclusions

The best paper selection of articles on sensors, signal, and imaging informatics shows examples of excellent research on methods concerning theoretically sound original development in this field.
