Summary
Objectives To summarize current excellent research in the field of medical sensor, signal and
imaging informatics.
Method Synopsis of the articles selected for the IMIA (International Medical Informatics
Association) Yearbook 2009.
Results Current research in the field of sensors, signal, and imaging informatics is characterized
by theoretically sound techniques and evaluations with focus in imaging informatics.
Conclusions The best paper selection of articles on sensors, signal, and imaging informatics
shows examples of excellent research on methods concerning theoretically sound original
development in this field. Imaging and particularly multi-dimensional imaging has
had in 2008 by far the largest number of publications compared to signals and sensors.
