On day 1 of the a17 course there will be a 45 minute introduction to medical visualisation. On days 2 and 3 there will be a rotating hands-on medical visualisation workshop. After the workshop, you will be able to apply visualisation and image processing techniques to medical datasets (primarily volumes).
The workshop will be coordinated by Charl Botha.
