Images speak for themselves, but exactly what language are they speaking?
On the one hand, incredibly realistic image rendering from the entertainment industry is entering the bio-medical field and will without any doubt change scientists’ and doctors’ practice. On the other hand, progress in image computing science applied to image calculation, analysis and modelling are building up precedently unseen images of biomedical parameters.
TOPIM 2012 brought together prominent specialists from both worlds to discuss the state-of-the-art and the future in modern processing of biomedical images.

The programme started on Monday April 16, 2012 with a three-hour Educational Keynote Lecture given by Adriaan Lammertsma from Amsterdam to enable all participants to comprehend the lectures. This educational introduction was followed by an overview on "Optical Imaging" given by Jorge Ripoll.
We are very pleased and honoured that Terry Jones gave a Key Note Lecture on “The Past Achievements of Brain PET and the Role of Quantification”
"...for my Key Note Evening lecture at the Winter Conference I plan to summarise for each of the application areas what have been the past achievements of brain PET. I hope this will be stimulating for the attendees especially when itemizing the quantitative procedures that accompanied the recording of these achievements. Also, where I can, I will define the experimental paradigms that were used in the studies which should also be of interest." Terry Jones
Staffan Strömblad from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden - coordinator of the “Systems Microscopy” FP7 Network - gave a "beyond one's nose" lecture on
"A systems microscopy platform for studying cell adhesion and migration"
THANKS to all of you who contributed to a great TOPIM 2012!
