As imaging science/technology matures, it becomes clear that it is more
than an assorted collection of methods and devices, each invented for a
specific application. It is striking that the same ideas are used in such
allegedly diverse fields as medical tomography and astronomy, in searching
for patterns in radar images, as well as in quality control in the textile
industry. What seems to be a fundamental unifying feature in all aspects
of imaging is the brain's (still not well-understood) ability to parallel
process an image and to simultaneously receive an array of data which
would be impossible if received in numerical form. Some devices and
algorithms are successful precisely because they strive to imitate or
exploit this ability.

Hence, there is a need for a forum that can be used by people working on
new principles of imaging, its various hardware and software aspects,
algorithms and their derivations and their applications. The International
Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology fills this need. It emphasizes
unified approaches to various applications. By bringing together ideas and
people working in different fields, the Journal hopes to encourage
interaction and cross-fertilization.
