Abstract

Welcome to the Journal of Medical Imaging Maryellen L. Giger Editorial The response to our initial call for papers in October 2013 for submissions to JMI has been extraordinary. Six months later, as our first issue of JMI “goes live,” we have received 66 submissions from 18 countries. SPIE MI brings together investigators from academia, medical institutions, industry, and government labs for a week of intense presentations, coffee-break discussions, and evening workshops. JMI will include aspects from the oral and poster presentations as well as from the evening workshops, allowing for the communication and peer-reviewed archive of scientific developments, associated translational and clinical applications, reviews, communications, and recommenda- tions for the field.
