Keynote Speaker
Volume Graphics 2010 is proud to announce Anders Persson, MD PhD,
CMIV, Linköping University, as keynote/capstone
speaker. Monday May 3, 13:30-14:30.
Medical visualization tools must be based on medical user requirements
Abstract
The practice of medical image diagnosis is currently
undergoing a fast transformation. Vast amounts of data can be
generated in standard examination and focus is shifting from improving
the collection of relevant data for diagnosis to development of
effective methods to analyze, visualize, navigate, and interact with
medical information. It is now becoming generally accepted in the
medical community that one of the most important keys to manage the
increasing information flow is the use of 3D and 4D applications.
This talk will take its starting point in state-of-the-art medical
visualization and then discuss the need for a research agenda that
focuses on the development of the next generation of medical
visualization tools, emphasizing the fact that these tools must be
based on medical user requirement and workflow studies as well as on
new technical developments.

M.D, Ph.D. is the Director at Center for Medical Image Science and
Visualization (CMIV)
at Linköping University Sweden. The mission of the center is to
develop future methods and tools for image analysis and visualization
within health care and medical research. Persson has been working in
the field of volume rendering and medical applications for over 20
years. As a radiologist and researcher he has worked on the
introduction and validation of new visualization tools for the
clinical environment and he has taught medical volume rendering in the
clinical practice for more than 15 years. Currently his research is
focusing on specialized volume rendering algorithms for specific
clinical investigations (CT and MRI) as well as on using new 3D and 4D
tools in education and virtual autopsies.
