Special Session on 6G Non-Terrestrial Network Technologies Toward Global Coverage

6G wireless technology is foreseen to play an important role in providing connectivity beyond ground-based infrastructure and connecting the unconnected. As such, 6G wireless technology is anticipated to integrate terrestrial networks with multilayered non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) to improve global coverage and to ensure seamless, resilient, and ubiquitous communication. A 6G-NTN of the resulting heterogeneous network toward global ubiquitous communications may incorporate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), high altitude platforms (HAPs), airborne-based network components, and satellite systems. The growing importance of such NTNs in 6G is due to their ability of enabling wireless coverage in unconnected rural and remote areas, less-developed regions,...

Special Session on Advances in Medical Imaging and Image Processing

Medical imaging continues to play a pivotal role in modern healthcare by enabling non-invasive visualization of anatomical structures and physiological processes. Recent advancements in imaging modalities such as ultrasound (US), radiography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and photoacoustic imaging have opened new avenues for precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease monitoring. This special session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to present innovative approaches in medical imaging, medical image processing, analysis, and computing. The session covers a wide range of topics that span from fundamental image formation to advanced computational methods, including but not limited...
