  The Bio Image and Signal Processing (BISP) Technical Committee (TC) of the
IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) promotes activities within the broad
technical field of biomedical image and signal processing. Areas of interest
include medical and biological imaging, digital pathology, molecular imaging,
microscopy, and associated computational imaging, image analysis, and
image-guided treatment, alongside physiological signal processing,
computational biology, and bioinformatics. BISP has 40 members and covers a
wide range of EDICS, including CIS-MI: Medical Imaging, BIO-MIA: Medical Image
Analysis, BIO-BI: Biological Imaging, BIO: Biomedical Signal Processing,
BIO-BCI: Brain/Human-Computer Interfaces, and BIO-INFR: Bioinformatics. BISP
plays a central role in the organization of the IEEE International Symposium on
Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) and contributes to the technical sessions at the IEEE
International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP),
and the IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP). In this
paper, we provide a brief history of the TC, review the technological and
methodological contributions its community delivered, and highlight promising
new directions we anticipate.
