medvis.org is a community site dealing with all things Medical Visualisation. You’ll be able to find datasets and software to play with, articles to read, and the (perhaps not so) latest breaking news on things that medical visualisationers (ha ha) find interesting.

About us
This site was conceived and set up by Charl Botha. It is currently being run by the TU Delft Medical Visualisation group, so it does have a slight bias.

Hello, I hope you can help me. My background is architectural visualization and has been for the last 9 years or so. I am very interested in medical visualization and learning what techniques etc I need for a move career wise. Is medical knowledge/qualifications required at all? Could anybody suggest any forums/resource material/tutorials I could learn from?
Any advice would be gratefully received
Kind regards
Paul
This site and its community primarily deal with scientific medical visualisation, i.e. the visual representation of medical data such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, and so forth. A good resource in this regard is the textbook Visualization in Medicine by Preim and Bartz: http://www.amazon.com/Visualization-Medicine-Algorithms-Applications-Kaufmann/dp/0123705967/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289400770&sr=8-1
Also see the websites of some of the research groups specialising in MedVis: http://graphics.tudelft.nl/MedVis and http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/visualisierung/wiki/
For the “other” kind of medical visualisation, analogous to architectural visualisation, where 3D authoring tools are used to better explain medical phenomena and to help in education, I don’t know off-hand of any good resources.
Thank you very much for your help and quick response. I’ll have a look into the resource links you’ve suggested.
Thanks again
Paul
