Visual and interactive computing for surgery and medicine

In this data-rich era, there is much untapped potential to use computing to help us interpret and understand our observations of the physical world. In the domain of medicine, we now have an unprecedented ability to image the human body and generate repositories of rich, three-dimensional image data. Despite advances in imaging technologies, most physicians today still examine images as if they were on a sheet of film, severely limiting the knowledge and understanding they can efficiently extract from the data. The central theme of the proposed research program is the investigation of visual and interactive computing techniques that will improve the way clinicians, scientists, and trainees are able to understand, interpret, and utilize medical images.
