Scope

The Computational BioImaging section of Frontiers in Bioinformatics publishes high-quality fundamental and applied research across all aspects of  computational bioimaging, a topical branch of bioimaging that examines all the computational aspects of bioimaging from acquisition and analysis to visualization and dissemination. The emphasis of this section is on microscopy based methods but other bioimaging modalities are welcome as long as computational innovation is the focus. Computational BioImaging plays an integral role in modern science and engineering and this interdisciplinary forum solicits significant advances in areas including, but not limited to: 

• Image Acquisition and storage Multidimensional Image analysis
• Computer Vision and Machine Learning
• Computational optics including real-time analysis approaches
• Hardware Accelerated Image analysis
• Multiparametric image analysis
• Image restoration, registration, segmentation, and tracking
• Workflows for big image data annotation and sharing
• Multiscale Image analysis from cellular to organ scale
• Open Source Software development

All studies must describe technical innovation either in development or application of a novel computational method or new software to a biological problem.  Reports dealing only with routine biological application of existing or conventional computational technologies do not fall within the scope of this section and should be submitted to more specialized journals.
