The SPIE Board of Directors recently announced that Norbert Pelc of Stanford University will step in for University of Chicago professor Maryellen Giger as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Medical Imaging (JMI) for the 2018 calendar year. Giger is stepping away to serve as president of the journal’s publisher, SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics (www.spie.org), during the year.
Pelc is professor of Bioengineering and Radiology and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering. He is the immediate past chair of the Department of Bioengineering and a member of the university’s Bio-X, cardiovascular, and cancer institutes.
He is an inventor on 95 U.S. patents, an author of more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. His primary research interests are in the physics, engineering, and mathematics of diagnostic medical imaging and its applications, with a focus on computed tomography.
Giger is the A.N. Pritzker Professor of Radiology at the University of Chicago, and serves as vice-chair for Basic Science Research in the department, and director of its Imaging Research Institute.
The Journal of Medical Imaging (online at medicalimaging.spiedigitallibrary.org) covers fundamental and translational research, as well as applications that yield physical and biomedical advancements in the early detection, diagnostics, and therapy of disease as well as in the understanding of normal.
The journal is published in print and digitally in the SPIE Digital Library, which contains more than 460,000 articles from SPIE journals, proceedings, and books, with approximately 18,000 new research papers added each year. Abstracts are freely searchable, and some journal articles are published with open access.
