Medical Imaging and visualization contributes significantly to diagnosis and treatment of many patients. A doctor builds many clinical decisions on information displayed in medical images. Often, interventions and image-directed therapy are performed in close proximity to image acquisition and diagnostics procedure. MedViz – a Research & Development cluster in Bergen, Norway, is a cluster of groups performing interdisciplinary research in advance image analysis and visualization. The aim of MedViz conference is to present state-of-art research and to provide a meeting place where basic scientists can meet with clinicians and engineers to enable translational communication and research.

The 2013 conference was held on the 15th of January in Bergen and consisted of four oral sessions and two poster presentation sessions. During breaks, PhD and Post-Doc students had the opportunity to present their posters and discuss science. The program covered advance topics in ultrasound visualization and image processing, and image-guided therapy.
