  10. Moving Forward TMI ISBI Life Science Initiative Other Collaborations

  11. TMI Thumbnail Sketch of Current Activity • 32 years old – success has proved the wisdom of its founders • Has increased page count: 2400 (approx 240 articles) • Impact factor (4.03) among highest of IEEE; ranks with Medical Physics • Excellent Timeliness: ~ 20 days; ePub ~70 days • Revenues are strong: SPP Revenue remains high; Increasing overlength charges compensate for declining subscriptions

  12. TMI – Moving Forward • New Editor: Mike Insana • Special Issue on Spectral CT -- GeWang, Anthony Butler, Hengyong Yu, Michael Campbell, Guest Editors – NPS? • Presidents Directive to Steering Board • Short term – address issues of NPS medical imaging opportunities • Long term – how to respond to overwhelming success of this field and journals in time of great publishing upheaval • New journal? New sections of same journal?

  13. ISBI International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging • Ten years old; EMBS and Signal Processing • We would welcome NPSS and UFFC • Create a track • Keynote speakers • PET/SPECT/Molecular Imaging • could evolve into financial sponsor • Andrew Laine would like to work on this • Molecular Imaging is needed to lift this conference to the next level • Would like to see a closer link to TMI

  14. IEEE Life Science Technical Community • Past: $1.2M • Two grand challenge conferences, one web portal/newsletter, participated in members workshops • Contentious Journal Proposal • Present: approved Technical Community • Donna Hudson is Chair • EMBS, Computer, Communications, Consumer, Control, Circuits • $15k each for 3 years • Just now organizing -- coordinate pubs, collaborations? • IEEE Life Science Letters approved, has very high profile Editorial Board

  15. NPSS Interests? Where can we help? Potential for your journal? Conferences? Joint Advertising?
