Medical Informatics is a rapidly emerging and increasingly important 
discipline aimed at exploring ways in which computer science methods 
and techniques can contribute to, and benefit from, problems in 
medicine and biomedicine.  The emphasis of our research group is on 
graphics, visualization, animation, computer vision and knowledge based
methods to model, simulate, analyze and visualize biomedical processes
and structures.<P>

The Medical Informatics Group is a part of Georgia Tech's
