Mixed and Augmented Reality in Medicine

Dr. Terry Peters is a Scientist in the Imaging Research Laboratories at the Robarts Research Institute (RRI), and Professor in the Departments of Medical Imaging and Medical Biophysics at Western University London, Canada. He is also a member of the Graduate Programs in Neurosciences and Biomedical Engineering and an adjunct Professor at McGill University in Montreal. Cristian A. Linte is a faculty member in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science at Rochester Institute of Technology. His research has focused on the development of intelligent solutions for computer-assisted diagnosis, therapy planning, and guidance by integrating medical image computing, surgical navigation and visualization tools, for which augmented and mixed reality environments have been a key component for effective display and interaction with multi-dimension, multi-modality imaging data. Ziv Yaniv is a senior computer scientist in the Office of High Performance Computing and Communications, at the National Library of Medicine, U.S. National Institutes of Health, USA and at TAJ Technologies Inc. His main areas of research are image-guided interventions, bio-medical image analysis, and software engineering. He believes in the curative power of open research, and for the past decade has been involved in the development of free open source software for image-guided interventions and biomedical image analysis. Jackie Williams is the Executive Director of the Biomedical Imaging Research Centre at Western University, and previously was the Manager of the CIHR Vascular Training Program at Western. An experienced scientific editor, she also has been involved in writing and managing large Imaging grants, and for the past 15 years she has served as Recording Secretary for the MICCAI Board.
