Objectives:
To summarize current excellent research in the field of sensor, signal and imaging informatics.
Methods:
Synopsis of the articles selected for the IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics 2006.
Results:
The selection process for this yearbook's section 'Sensor, signal and imaging informatics' results in six excellent articles, representing research in five different nations. We selected a cross section of the wide range of application, ranging from model based image segmentation, image retrieval and data mining, image based diagnosis assistance, bio-impedance based skin cancer screening, brain computer interfaces to MRI based computational models for fluid-structure-interactions.
Conclusions:
The selected articles indicate a small but meaningful extract from the research field of sensors, signal and image processing, which has a wide range of applications in medical informatics. The articles present excellent research with a possibility of having high relevance for the future in patient care.

Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
