3D Radiology—Who Knew It Could Look So Good

3D images help physicians design appropriate interventions.

Images of realistic and colorful 3D human body parts line the hall outside the lab. Blood and muscle look like blood and muscle; bone looks like bone. You almost expect to find human cadavers being...

Digging Into Pixels: Radiogenomics Extracts Meaning

Seeking a non-invasive approach to cancer diagnosis and prognosis

In a radiological image, a tumor’s edges might appear fuzzy or crisp; its shape could range from oval to many-lobed; and its density and texture might vary across the tumor. To determine...

COMPUTATION FOR THE BEDSIDE: Optimizing Patient Care

How some tools are already impacting patients

Medical decision-making is often more art than science, requiring physicians to exercise judgment in the face of complex factual circumstances. But now a few tools offer the opportunity to...

Imaging Collections: How They're Stacking Up

As barriers to massive imaging collections fall, researchers can look at human systems in their entirety rather than in pieces

In the beginning there was the Visible Human. It broke new ground by gathering some 2,000 serial images from a death row inmate’s cadaver, and was the first time researchers had sectioned a...

Computation Competitions Take Off!

Contests involving algorithms for protein structure prediction, natural language processing, and computer-aided disease detection are giving researchers a jolt of adrenalin and moving these fields forward

From all parts of the computational spectrum, researchers are duking it out: They are throwing their algorithms into the ring to see which one will out-perform all others on a particular task....

Human Versus Machine: Biomedical expertise meets computer automation

Computers and human experts duke it out over who is better at diagnosing disease, interpreting images, or predicting protein structure

Dorothy Rosenthal tenses over her microscope, peering at the problematic nucleus on the Pap smear yet again. “It’s abnormal,” she decides, and then hesitates. “No, it’s...

From Sight to Insight: Visualization tools yield biomedical success stories
They're more than just pretty pictures adorning office walls and presentation slides. Beamed into operating room computer monitors, they're guiding the scalpels of brain surgeons. Dancing...

NCBCs Take Stock and Look Forward: Fruitful Centers Face Sunset

From hardened software to scientific productivity, the NCBCs have changed the landscape for biomedical computing.  What will happen when their funding expires?

It has been eight years since the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded the first National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBCs). With two or three years remaining in the program (...

The Uncertain Future of a Magazine

Why Biomedical Computation Review matters

Ten years ago, when Scott Delp, PhD, and Russ Altman, MD, PhD, decided to write a grant for a National Center for Biomedical Computing (NCBC), their brainstorming sessions with then-postdoc David...

Reaching Under the Hood of a 20-year-old Musculoskeletal Model

Confidence boost for modelers

It’s often said that all models are wrong, but some are useful. And one model that certainly falls in the “useful” category is the human lower-limb model that Scott Delp published...
