Special sessions at ISBI 2012

A number of special sessions are being organized  at the ISBI 2012 meeting in Barcelona between 2nd and 5th of May. These sessions combine different contributions focused on critical and emerging topics in biomedical imaging, of interest to a relatively large audience. We expect these sessions to be a focusing opportunity at the Congress, allowing establishing synergies and eventual links to relevant communities and exploring new opportunities these can offer.
