Publications Conference Record The Conference Record (CR) is the official repository for manuscripts presented at the 2007 Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference and will be published on CD-ROM, complimentary to all registered conference attendees. All CR manuscripts will be made available online at http://www.nss-mic.org/2007/ConferenceRecord before the CD-ROMs are mailed out. The approved word processor templates, available in PDF, MS Word, and LaTeX format can be downloaded from http://www.nss-mic.org/2007/publications/templates.htm. All manuscripts submitted to the IEEE must meet the PDF Specification for IEEE Xplore. To assist authors in meeting this requirement, IEEE has established a web based service called "PDF eXpress." We strongly suggest that you use this service to create your PDF files. Manuscripts that do not meet IEEE's requirement will not be accepted in the Conference Record CD. If you are interested in producing compatible PDF files on your own, you may find these Adobe Distiller Job Options files useful. In order to ensure a timely release of the CD-ROM, please follow this procedure for the Conference Record manuscript submission:
The deadline for the Conference Record manuscript submission is Nov. 16. All manuscripts submitted through the conference web site will be made available immediately at the "Conference Record" web link. However, only those that meet the following requirements will be included in the CD-ROM:

At the conference, the Guest Editor will be available during the coffee and lunch break periods on Thursday and Friday in the Tiare Suite. Transactions on Nuclear Science (TNS) Additionally, papers presented at the conference that contain important information of lasting value may be submitted for review and publication in the Transactions on Nuclear Science (TNS). The TNS is a premier peer-reviewed journal with a significant distribution within the nuclear science and medical imaging communities. TNS is not the conference record and only those papers that pass the review process and are in the fields of interest to TNS will be published. Prospective authors should consult the TNS page at www.ieee.org for a description of the publication. TNS discourages the submission of progress reports and manuscripts that are more suitable for distribution as an institution's internal document. We expect each manuscript to be cast in the context of the state of the art of its field (including appropriate motivation for the work), present a complete description of the work performed, and to present a set of conclusions supported by the measured and/or calculated data. The TNS is published throughout the year, and you can submit your manuscript to TNS at any time. For instructions on TNS manuscript submissions, please visit the IEEE's on-line peer review system Manuscript Central™ (http://tns-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com).

Comparison of Requirements The value of the Conference Record is chiefly accrued by the immediate and timely release of the information, which excludes the possibility of peer-review for manuscript content. It is possible that a similar (or even the same) article can be submitted to both the Conference Record and the TNS. However, the authors must keep in mind that the content of the articles designated for TNS publication must meet the level of scrutiny by scientific review, and publication is not guaranteed for the TNS submission. The CR and TNS are two separate publications. Submission to one does not imply submission to the other.
Authors of medical imaging papers may alternatively choose to submit their manuscripts to the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging through Manuscript Central. For further information regarding the IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, contact:
