Kitware has announced the winners of its 2nd annual Biomedical Visualization Contest at the 12th International Conference on Medical Image Computing & Computer Assisted Intervention in London last week. The winners, Luc Soler and Jaques Marescaux of IRCAD, got $750 and a Kitware Shirt for their augmented reality computer-assisted-surgical visualization of a pancreas.
Vascular anomaly and pulmonary sequestration diagnosis using IRCAD software applications on a thoracic CT-scan of a 1 month old baby with direct volume rendering (first line) and surface rendering resulting from organ segmentations (second line) in anterior view (left) and posterior view (right). The resulting preoperative surgical planning allows to reach arteries and the lung area to be cut with an optimal back intercostal tool positioning that is perfectly reproduced intraoperatively (last line).
Congratulations to the winners, and be sure to check out Stephen Gerhard & Patric Hagmann’s Brain connectivity visualization which won second place as well!
