Medical Imaging Informatics

This blog provides information on conferences and novelties in the area of Medical Imaging Informatics (MII). MII has a broad scope ranging from the Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to Advanced Visualization and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD). To find new opportunities in healthcare we need to look at informatics solutions in other areas to apply them into the medical field to achieve higher level healthcare at lower costs.

Gesture Interface using Kinect for Medical Imaging Visualization in Surgeries

This work was developed in the Renato Archer Center for Information Technogy - CTI (www.cti.gov.br) in Campinas - SP, Brazil (3D Technologies Division) published at the 5th International Conference on Advanced Research in Virtual and Rapid Prototyping (VRAP2001). The system allows the surgeon to control the medical imaging software InVesalius (also developed by CTI) without any physical contact, just by hand gestures. The system uses the OpenNI/NITE framework and is cross-platform (Windows/Linux). Invesalius website: http://svn.softwarepublico.gov.br/trac/invesalius
