Medical Information Visualisation (MediVis)
Aims and Scope MediViz has evolved rapidly from its original concentration purely on
medical visualisation and is now possibly the leading interdisciplinary forum
for researchers and professionals in the bio-medical domain to exchange ideas
and report results on visualisation within their disciplines to the wider
world. It thus provides important support for researchers who are faced increasingly with the necessity of adopting a
multidisciplinary approach to address the problems faced in pushing forward
the boundaries of modern medicine. The theme for this year’s conference is “Multi-scale
Bio-Medical Structure Sensing, Modelling, Simulation and Visualisation”.
Of particular interest is the capture and early processing of natural data to
be used as input for external and internal
biomedical structure definition. Papers are encouraged which demonstrate the
measurement and modelling of the dynamics of biomedical data and structures;
these may range from the microscopic, cellular level to the macroscopic organ
or whole-patient level. These structures often undergo constrained interactions which need to be measured and realistically
simulated in order to understand the fundamental processes, to facilitate the
development of bio-medical products or to enable advances in critical
bio-medical applications such as life-saving patient treatment.
At the microscopic level, examples are the exciting
developments that now visibly link nuclear and cytoplasmic
structural changes in cells to changes in their environment, for example
induced by drugs, radiation or other novel agents being
explored in the quest for new diagnostic or therapeutic techniques. At
the macroscopic scale, examples are the characterisation, simulation and
prediction of internal and external body movements for robot assisted (radio)surgery, intensity modulated and image guided
(radio)therapy, and the emerging modality of ion-beam therapy.
Quality of life, encompassing recovery patterns and
rehabilitation following treatment is an important, but often neglected
theme. In this age of evidence-based medicine, how do we objectively define
and visualise recovery patterns following treatments that impact
on patient mobility, hearing, speech and vision. Hence, papers addressing the
evolution of new biomedical and clinical tools and their likely impact are
especially welcome.
Papers are invited that address information
visualisation, from the microscopic to the macroscopic level, in biomedical, biomechanical and other related fields. These include:
