Judging by the list of topics and especially the list of speakers, I expect that this is going to be a great tutorial. If you’re going to MICCAI 2015, don’t miss this!

We were ecstatic to hear that the first orders of our new book, Visual Computing for Medicine, have been delivered to their new owners!

Go to this page to find out from where you can order yours, and to the about page if you would like to know more about the book.

On May 12, 2011 the first revision control commit was performed, and now readers are paging through the more than 800 pages of beautifully typeset medical visualization text and images. There are an additional 190 extra pages of exclusive online content. We are proud that this has been possible, and we hope that you enjoy the fruits of our labour!

All the best,
Bernhard Preim and Charl Botha
