• Course 33: Hot Topics in 3D Medical Visualization

Level: Intermediate

Tutorial

Recent open-source research initiatives have created new APIs for complex data analysis. Combined with computer graphics, these tools become powerful applications for computer-assisted medicine. This tutorial covers medical applications, data analysis, and visualization, and touches on the policies and digital infrastructure for engaging in open-source software development.

Prerequisites

A good working knowledge of basic 3D computer graphics and an understanding of the basic principles of image processing. Some familiarity with medical terminology or experience working on a clinical project is useful, but not necessary.

Intended Audience

Members of the graphics community who are interested in expanding their research directions toward medicine. Researchers interested in learning about the rewards and difficulties of working on open-source 3D visualization software in medical applications.

• Panel: The Open-Source Movement and the Graphics Community: How Can Open-Source, Third Party, and Proprietary Software Models Coexist?

In recent years, the open-source movement has increased dramatically. Harnessing the power of thousands of developers and testers has proven successful, to varying degrees, in developing operating systems, graphics applications, and web tools, including Linux, POV-Ray, Blender, Gimp, and Apache. In this session, developers of open-source software, in-house proprietary software, and commercial software, and practitioners who encounter all kinds of software discuss whether the open-source model is relevant and useful to the graphics community. Does the model of proprietary application research, development, and usage serve the industry better? Or will commercial facilities continue to primarily choose off-the-shelf solutions? Can all models work together?
