Special Issue Information

The objective of this special issue is to provide results of high quality research on widely understood medical images processing. We would like to focus on specialized methods/algorithms developed for medical images and/or sequences of images and/or video. In particular, applications of proposed methods on real medical images, including medicine experts opinion are encouraged. We expect research papers with new results or the very good and comprehensive papers which will provide a consolidated state-of-the-art in this area (or sub-area). The topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

· Invariant features for medical image recognition
· Fuzzy logic (fuzzy relations) in medical images processing
· Medical images annotation
· Medical images retrieval
· Medical images interpretations
· Medical images analysis and medical data mining in computer systems for supporting medical decisions (diagnosis, therapy, etc.)

Abstract
In surgical knee replacement, the damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial prostheses. An accurate clinical evaluation must be carried out before applying knee prostheses to ensure optimal outcome from surgical operations and to reduce the probability of having long-term problems.

In surgical knee replacement, the damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial prostheses. An accurate clinical evaluation must be carried out before applying knee prostheses to ensure optimal outcome from surgical operations and to reduce the probability of having long-term problems. Useful information can be inferred from estimates of the stress acting onto the bone-prosthesis system of the knee joint. This information can be exploited to tailor the prosthesis to the patient’s anatomy. We present a compound system for pre-operative surgical planning based on structural simulation of the bone-prosthesis system, exploiting patient-specific data. Full article
