Andrew F. Laine, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology (Physics) has been elected to Vice President of Publications for the IEEE Engineering in Biology and Medicine  Society (EMBS)  for a two year term.  The EMBS is the world's largest international society of Biomedical Engineers. With more than 46 percent of its 8,200 members residing in some 70 countries around the world.  As an officer of the society, Professor Laine will be administratively responsible for all of the publications of the EMBS as well as several journals which are co-sponsored by other societies within the IEEE and outside including the ACM.  This portfolio includes the prestigious Transactions on Medical Imaging, which holds the highest citation index in the field of medical imaging, the Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, and Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering.  Brief synopsis’ of these journals is given below.  For more information please see http://www.embs.org/.

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering
The latest basic and applied papers on biomedical engineering and applied biophysics, from practical/clinical applications through experimental science and technological development to formalized mathematical theory.

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Top-rated by the annual Journal Citation Report, the number one journal in rehabilitation focuses on the rehabilitative and neural aspects of biomedical engineering including functional electrical stimulation, acoustic dynamics, human performance measurement and analysis, nerve stimulation, electromyography, motor control and stimulation, and hardware and software applications for rehabilitation engineering and assistive devices.

IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging
The leading journal on medical imaging brings together experts in biomedical imaging sciences and engineering as well as applied mathematicians and clinical practitioners to report on the latest research and development in this rapidly evolving field. Now published monthly, TMI covers recent imaging advances in medical physics, applied mathematics, computer science and biomedical engineering, plus the development of diagnostic methods, prostheses, minimally invasive therapies and radiation oncology.

IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience
Explore original, innovative and interdisciplinary work on all aspects of molecular systems, cellular systems and tissues in Transactions on NanoBioscience. Bringing you the latest and most advanced research from the worlds of engineering, physics, chemistry, computer science, biology and medicine, TNB covers it all — from practical, clinical and environmental applications to formalized mathematical theory.

IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine
The latest basic and applied papers on information technology applications in health, healthcare and biomedicine, covering personalized and pervasive health technologies, electronic health records interoperability and connectivity, regional and community health information networks, hospital information systems, disease management systems, telemedicine, knowledge management, decision support systems, virtual reality applications, visualization and biomedical imaging technologies, piracy, security and more

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
This quarterly publishes archival research related to the logarithmic, mathematical, statistical and computational methods that are central to bioinformatics and computational biology, the development and testing of effective computer programs, the development and optimization of biological databases, and important biological results that are obtained from the applications of these methods.

IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine
A flagship publication of EMBS keeps you up-to-date on current technologies and methods used in biomedical and clinical engineering, societal implications of medical technologies, news, book reviews, patent descriptions, and correspondence. Features include both general and technical articles and special interest departments covering students, law, clinical engineering, ethics, new products, society news, historical features and government.
