Medical Visualization Minisymposium

June 13, 2012

Medical visualization research investigates techniques to facilitate the visual analysis of complex medical imaging information. The group of Biomedical Image Analysis, at the department of Biomedical Engineering, organizes a minisymposium on medical visualization, on the occasion of two PhD defenses in this topic. The symposium focuses on the importance of comprehensive visualization techniques for neurological and cardiovascular applications. Experts in visualization, as well as in the application domain, have been invited to give their views on the main medical visualization challenges. Everyone interested is cordially invited to attend the minisymposium, and both PhD defenses. We would like to ask all participants to register. Please, provide your e-mail address, and indicate if you would like to participate in the lunch. The lunch will be provided for free for registered participants.
