General Information

A considerable improvement in the area of volume visualisation and data aquisition was achieved during the last years. This project will take advantage of the high computational power of todays PC Workstations and highly sophisticated algorithms in order to improve diagnosis. The targets are:
  • Computer Aided Diagnosis.
  • Visualization of deduced information from data analysis.
  • Reliability issues of medical data visualization.
  • Automatic and user steered segmentation.
