- Description
- Programme
Medical imaging technologies use different physical principles to image the human body or parts of it. They allow us to improve clinical diagnosis and treatment, but they are also an indispensable tool for research on the anatomical and physiological basis of disease. Medical imaging has experienced a revolution in recent times. The increase in resolution and quality of existing technologies, along with the appearance of new modalities, allows obtaining a great amount of anatomical and functional information very efficiently.
On the other hand, the fields of image processing and computer vision have had to respond to the need of handling the large amount of visual information available, something that has happened both in medicine and in other areas of the digital society. The combination of advances in image acquisition and computer vision techniques provides the clinician and researcher multimodal quantitative data that improve the diagnostic process, the research on various diseases as well as therapeutic procedures. The efective and sustainable deployment of these technologies in clinical scenarios requires multidisciplinary teams, a thorough analysis of needs and a change in working protocols.
The Computer Vision meets Medicine symposium brings together international experts that will present the state of the art in quantitative medical imaging (imaging modalities, analysis techniques) and the application of these technologies in different fields of medicine. The diverse profiles of the participating experts ensures an interesting combination of visions and knowledge, which is essential to ensure the impact of any progress in the health arena.
