MedViz – a Research & Development cluster in Bergen. MedViz is a cluster of groups performing interdisciplinary research in advanced image analysis and visualisation bridging the gap between “bench and bedside”. MedViz also includes imaging physics and fundamental biomedical translational research. Our mission is to promote the development of biomedical and clinical imaging technologies with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis and treatment of patients. MedViz wants to develop new clinical methods for potential commercialisation by means of denovo software for analysis, decision support and visual communication.

MedViz Article

"MedViz – ein fotosafari i kroppen" written by Marion Solheim was presented at UiB web and Helse Bergen Web. Read the article (in Norwegian):

Utviklinga innan medisinsk bildeteknologi har gått fort dei siste åra. Og eitt av resultata av samarbeid mellom legar, forskarar bruckner10hvc (2).jpg og datafolk er MedViz. Det er eit forskingssamarbeid mellom Universitetet i Bergen, Christian Michelsen Research (CMR) og Helse Bergen. Kort fortalt kan ein ta detaljerte bilder av indre organ, ved hjelp av innvendig ultralyd, magnetar og isotopar – for å nemne eit par døme. Dette gjer det lettare både å stille raske, rette diagnosar og unngå store operasjonar. Kirurgkniven blir i mange tilfelle overflødig, for ein treng ikkje opne opp for å finne feilen.

MrdViz Conference 2012

MedViz Conference 2012

The 6th MedViz conference in medical imaging and visualisation took place Jan. 17th 2012 at Hotel Terminus. The aim of the conference was to present state-of-the-art research in medical imaging and visualisation. Furthermore, we wanted to provide a

forum for users and developers to discuss common challenges and exchange scientific ideas. This year the MedViz conference accommodated a parallel seminar with Clinical Trial Unit, Helse Bergen, and Bergen Technology Office with the topic: "Research, Clinic and Business: Opportunity knocks - first class infrastructure and clinical cooperation". This gave an excellent opportunity for networking with related businesses.

In total, it was about 130 people attending the MedViz Conference. We are happy to create a meeting place where basic scientists could meet with clinicians and engineers to enable translational communication and research. The poster discussions and cofee / meal breaks gave valuable space for both academic discussion and small talks to strengthen the network.We extend our great appreciation to all the speakers, chairpersons and all who made this conference a great success.

Talk

Graph, cuts and PDE minimization for image processing

Dear all,

with great please we announce a highly interesting talk next Friday, 2012-01-20, in room 3137 at Høyteknologisenteret:

Prof. Xue-Cheng Tai from the UiB Dept. of Mathematics, and there in particular also from the BBG group, a world-wide acknowledged expert in numerical PDEs, optimization techniques, inverse problems, and image processing, and an active member of the Bergen MedViz initiative, will teach us about graph cut methods, etc., and how they apply to image processing -- very interesting for modern visual computing!

We hope that many of you will find the opportunity to attend this talk!
