Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model, with papers published first online and then in print and on CD-ROM. Papers are published as they are submitted and meet publication criteria. A unique, consistent, permanent citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to each article at the time of the first publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online, print, and electronic versions of the publication. SPIE uses a six-digit CID article numbering system in which:
The CID Number appears on each page of the manuscript. The complete citation is used on the first page, and an abbreviated version on subsequent pages. Numbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the six-digit CID Number. Conference CommitteeSymposium Chairs

IntroductionData generated by novel imaging technologies such as optical tomography are complex to analyze due to the inherent scattering of light through anatomical systems. Cross validation and direct comparison with established methods in other imaging modalities are especially challenging. There is critical need for new computational techniques to provide rapid, accurate and cost-effective means for quantification and characterization of such data, either independently or integrated with other modalities. These computational methods will enable faster acceptance of novel imaging modalities into viable clinical and/or pre-clinical systems. The applications are diverse and range from imaging at the cellular level to the whole body while incorporating molecular, functional and anatomical information. The conference objectives are to provide a forum:
