IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL IMAGING (T-MI) encourages the submission of manuscripts on imaging of body structure, morphology and function, and imaging of microscopic biological entities. The journal publishes original contributions on medical imaging achieved by various modalities, such as ultrasound, X-rays (including CT) magnetic resonance, radionuclides, microwaves, and light, as well as medical image processing and analysis, visualization, pattern recognition, and related methods. Studies involving highly technical perspectives are most welcome. The journal focuses on a unified common ground where instrumentation, systems, components, hardware and software, mathematics and physics contribute to the studies.
To qualify for publication, submitted manuscripts must be previously unpublished and must not be under consideration elsewhere. The Editor-in-Chief and an Associate Editor will perform a quick review of each manuscript to evaluate the manuscript in terms of novelty, quality and appropriateness and may return the manuscript immediately if it does not meet minimum standards of quality and originality. Manuscripts will ONLY be accepted in electronic format through a new system called ScholarOne Manuscripts. Please go to the ScholarOne Manuscripts website at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tmi-ieee or to the TMI website http://www.ieee-tmi.org/ to find instructions to create an account and electronically submit your manuscript. Do not send original submissions or revisions directly to the Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editors. If you are unable to submit your contribution electronically, please contact the Editor-in-Chief at ieee-tmi@engineering.uiowa.edu.
To access published issues and forthcoming papers of IEEE TMI, please visit IEEE Xplore.

October 18, 2012 - IEEE TMI is now a hybrid journal with open access option
IEEE TMI is now a hybrid journal that publishes both traditional subscription-based content as well as open access, author-pays content. The open access option is just incorporated into the SchoalrOne Manuscripts system. When submitting a new manuscript, you will see the open access (OA) option as shown below. IEEE TMI's page charge details can be found in The Complete Editorial Policy. For more information and questions regarding IEEE’s Open Access policy, please refer to IEEE Open Access Publishing Options.
You don't have to decide on the OA option when submitting a new manuscript, once a manuscript is aceepted you will have another chance to indicate your choice on OA option during the final files submission. Currently, choosing OA option for final files submission is not yet avaialble on ScholarOne Manuscripts and we will annouce it when becomes avaialble. In the meantime, if you have an accepted paper (waiting for final files or already appears as an early access paper on IEEE Xplore) and like to make it open access, please contact the editorial office (ieee-tmi@engineering.uiowa.edu).

Mar 3, 2010 - Merging Duplicate Accounts
We announced a database overhaul plan in the recent Editorial. The Phase 1 of this overhaul is to merge duplicate accounts — multiple accounts belong to the same user will be merged into a single account that is associated with the user's primary and valid e-mail address. We have identified more than 2000 accounts that belong to about 1000 users and just started the merging process.
- If you cannot log onto your ScholarOne Manuscripts account, please do not create a new account immediately. Instead, please send an e-mail (from your primary e-mail address) to the Editorial Office (ieee-tmi@engineering.uiowa.edu) with your full name and affiliation information, we will identify whether such problem is caused by incorrect duplicate account merging and fix it.
- If you suspect that you may have multiple accounts, please send an e-mail (from your primary e-mail address) to the Editorial Office (ieee-tmi@engineering.uiowa.edu) with your full name and affiliation information, we will check and perform account merging if necessary.
- We cannot always identify whether a certain group of accounts belong to the same user. You may receive e-mails from us asking you to identify whether you are the owner of certain accounts or ask you to provide correct e-mail address and affiliation information.
- We highly recommend the users of ScholarOne Manuscripts to check and update account profile — especially the e-mail address and affiliation information associated with the account &mdash by following the 'Edit Account' link on the top-right corner of the webpage after log in.
