β¦ Synopsis
Computing in Biology and Medicine is the title of a Eurographics workshop series that we started in Delft in 2008. Dirk Bartz, as a pioneer in the field, was selected as organizer for the second workshop to be held in July 2010 in Leipzig, where Dirk was a Professor of Computer-Assisted Surgery. Although deeply saddened by his passing away, we decided to organize the workshop in his memory (Alexander Wiebel from Max-Planck-Institute of Leipzig greatly supported the organization). One of Dirk's last activities was to discuss with the Editor-in-Chief of this journal to provide a special issue on Visual Computing in Medicine, where the best workshop papers could be published in an extended and improved form. Dirk served as an associate editor of this journal for a long time and could convince the Editor-in-Chief that this was a good idea indeed. After Dirk passed away, we decided that we wanted to fulfill also this plan initiated by Dirk. The Editor-in-Chief J. Jorge agreed and offered to publish not only the three best VCBM conference papers but also other papers in that field. Thus, we are happy to present you a selection of seven papers on Visual Computing
