note = "Funding Information: T ECHNOLOGICAL advances in biomedical imaging are providing unprecedented opportunities for improving our understanding of biological processes and revealing the anatomical and functional organization of biological systems, from macro-to nano-scales. Research in this area is progressing at an extraordinary rate and is becoming more and more interdisciplinary. The IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) was initiated to bring together researchers from the medical and biological imaging communities and to provide an effective forum for multidisciplinary interactions. The first meeting was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Washington, DC, July 7–10, 2002. It was organized jointly by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) and co-sponsored by National Institutes of Health{\textquoteright}s (NIH) National Institute of the Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), representing the first IEEE-NIH collaborative effort on a major imaging conference. The symposium was focused on the engineering aspects of biomedical imaging while promoting an integrative approach through all scales of observation. It successfully brought together a large group of biomedical imaging researchers and practitioners (535 participants) with different backgrounds to share their knowledge and to address the latest challenges in data acquisition, image reconstruction, image processing, analysis, and visualization.",
