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: v Quantitative imaging and measurement of biomedical structures. v Animation, simulation and predictive modelling. v Interaction, deformation, growth and evolution of biomedical
structures. v Models, including physico-scientific,
particle, implicit surfaces, finite element etc. v Multi-modality visualisation, searching, characterisation and
comparison of complex structures. v Surface, volume, dynamic and sensory data reduction, mapping and
user representation. v Display and interaction technologies, including VR,
augmentation, stereoscopic, haptics etc. v Image & computer applications, including screening, diagnostics,
surgery & cancer therapy. v Human interfacing, virtual image projection, retinal projection,
tactile and sound stimuli etc. v Virtual and augmented reality. v Emerging technologies. |
