8. National Alliance for Medical Image Computing http://na-mic.org Dec 9-10, 2004 NAMIC Background: Why? Or the NAMIC Vision Student reads a paper that references a NAMIC algorithm… goes to web site.. uses software implementation of algorithm to see results on own data… How will we execute this vision? Identify important biological problems Invent novel algorithms to solve these Develop persistent, open software implementations Provide training/documentation/support of software
