Clinical Image Processing

-----------------------------------------------
NEW GROUP:
 As many of you know, there has been a large effort in the clinical
center to improve their image processing expertise and facilities.  As
a member of the clinical center, I have decided to devote more of my
time to this effort and to the formation of the clinical image
processing group.  - John

LINKS:
 We are still going with our software pages.  With the help of Rakesh
Mullick we have image processing software and visualization software
pretty well represented.  Instead of continuing with this project this
month we are soliciting link information.  We are currently interested in:
NIH links (www.cc.nih.gov/cip/nihlinks.html) that describe the following:

  1. NIH departments that do image processing
  2. Image Processing Information sources at NIH
  3. Image Processing Data sources at NIH
  4. Image Processing Software Repositories at NIH (scripts, plugins, etc)
  5. Image Processing Training sources at NIH
  6. Image Processing Links pages at NIH


------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE UPDATE!
 As most of you know, there is a database of all image processing
researchers at the NIH Image Processing SIG web site
(http://image.nih.gov/Research.html).  This site is viewed by many
people both inside and outside of NIH.

When you get a chance, please look at your entry and update if it is
out of date (http://image.nih.gov/About.html).  If you don't have an
entry and are doing image processing on the NIH campus please submit
an entry through the NIH Image Processing SIG website (image.nih.gov).
