Call for Book Chapters for the Edited Book "Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) Tools and Applications for 3D Medical Imaging" (CTAMI-2024)
Aim and Scope: The book aims to provide an overview of the innovations in designing three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) Tools and applications over the medical/dental imaging data for the patient’s diagnosis and treatment planning. This book will help the researchers to understand the latest trends in the field to solve their research problems.
This book shall provide a new insight for the researchers working in the field of evolving/designing engineering solutions for assisting the radiologist/orthodontist/experts using medical imaging. The readers of this book will gain the comprehensive knowledge of the development of the tools for providing aid to the medical experts. A few case studies will also be part of the book.
Key features of the book
- Computer vision tools based on three-dimensional (3D) imaging modalities.
- Includes the cases from dental domain as well as medical domain, however, emphasis will be on computer methods.
- Interdisciplinary book as it explains computer engineering concepts applied on the problem of medical/dental.

Book Chapter Formatting Guideline
- Please save your chapter in final form with a logical file name, excluding spaces or special characters, e.g. Smith.doc, ch001.doc, ch002.doc, etc.
- Save each figure as its own separate file with a logical file name, e.g. Fig1.2.tif. Submit figures with your chapter files, but do not embed them in the manuscript text.
- Keep your presentation simple and consistent. Do not attempt to style your manuscript to make it look like a final typeset, printed book.
- If you intend to prepare your material using software other than Microsoft Word, such as Tex or Latex, please note that it will be fine for you to submit your chapter using Latex files, when you submit your chapter, please submit a PDF version of your chapter to the Manuscript Tab, your figures to the Figures Tab and your Latex files to the Resources Tab.
- Your chapter should be approximately 22,500 words, unless agreed otherwise with your editor, where a printed page contains approximately 430 words of text or 2 figures or 2 tables or 20 references.
Text guidelines
- Use American spelling and check for consistency of spelling and punctuation throughout prior to submission.
- Use consistent formatting (e.g. bold, font size) across the manuscript to indicate different heading levels, e.g.
First level heading
Second level heading
Third level heading
- Use double spacing throughout and standard tab indents, not the space bar, for indenting material. Use only special characters from the ‘Symbols’ option in Word.
- Order the elements as follows: running title, title, authors, affiliations, abstract (max 250 words), text elements, references, tables, figure legends, footnotes.
- Generate equations using MathType and import these individually into your text, please do not use MS Equation Editor in Word.
- Do not use justification, automatic hyphenation, or double spaces after punctuation.
- Avoid the use of cross-references and footnotes unless absolutely necessary.
- The reference style is the Numbered system (name and date with article titles), e.g.
Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.
Example: ‘..... as demonstrated [3, 6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ....’
List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text.

Artwork and table guidelines
- Submit figures both in black and white and color. Figures will appear in black and white in the print version and in color in the online version.
- Number and refer to each figure sequentially, e.g. the fifth figure in the chapter would be Figure 5. Consider any type of photograph, line drawing or small ‘in-text’ image a figure and number accordingly.
- Do not place figures within the manuscript text. Instead, insert a note to indicate figure placement, e.g. [Insert Figure 2 here], along with the caption for the figure and any necessary credit or citation.
- All images should have a resolution of at least 300dpi, except for screenshots which can be 72dpi. Acceptable file types are .jpg, .tif, and .eps.
- Supply original figures and tables if you can, or else ensure permission for use is sought to as appropriate.
- Provide guidance with a note in the text or artwork list if the arrangement or sizing of figures is particularly important, e.g. [Figures 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. in a row horizontally, total size together half-page].
- Identify figures within the text by figure number as often as possible, e.g. “as you can see in Figure 7” rather than “in the next figure” or “as you can see above”.
- Ensure that spellings and abbreviations in figures and tables are consistent with the text.
- Number tables sequentially in the same manner as figures, e.g. Table 1, 2, etc.
- If figures need to be redrawn from drafts or examples, provide as much guidance as possible as to redrawing requirements.
