CMIV conducts focused front-line research within multidisciplinary projects providing solutions to tomorrow’s clinical issues. The mission is to develop future methods and tools for image analysis and visualization for applications within health care and medical research. When CMIV was initiated, the vision was to gather all the components of medical imaging and visualization in one place. And at the same time create a whole new type of research environment where scientists, engineers, technicians and medical doctors could work close together with immediate access to the patients. A place where there were no distance between research and clinical needs. Since the start in 2002, CMIV has grown into the vision and it is now our everyday routine.
