press release

Leuven (Belgium), February 26, 2008. Materialise proudly announces the sixth edition of the Medical Innovations Conference on May 30-31, 2008 in Vienna, Austria. This two-day event will guide all participants through the infinite possibilities Materialise can offer in 3D medical image processing and surgery planning. Two days of lectures and hands-on software training sessions will introduce all new features and applications of Mimics software. Moreover, the attendees can experience the launch of SurgiCase, our newest software platform for 3D surgery planning. This year’s conference also includes the second edition of the Rapid Implant Manufacturing Forum.

The Main Program on the conference’s opening day will consist of 2 parallel sessions filled with lectures given by various researchers and industry leaders regarding the multiple uses of Mimics software. The winners of the 2008 edition of the Mimics Innovation Awards will be announced. Prof. Dr. Karl Entacher from the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences and Prof. Dr. Andreas Linninger from the University of Illinois have already confirmed their presence as keynote speakers. The main program sessions will be moderated by Prof. Dr. Jos Vander Sloten from the Catholic University of Leuven and Dr. Panayotis Diamantopoulos from the University of Athens.
The following topics will be discussed:

  • Cardiology
  • Finite Element Analysis  
  • Pneumology  
  • Tissue Engineering  
  • Archeology – Anthropology – Paleontology  
  • Computer Aided Engineering
Also on Friday May 30, the second edition of the Rapid Implant Manufacturing Forum will be held. Through well selected case studies presented by industry trendsetters, the latest developments in the field of implant production will be discussed. Goal of these sessions is to discuss and set, in dialogue with the experts, the future standards for certified, validated implants.
On Saturday, May 31, Materialise organizes the SurgiCase Program. SurgiCase is Materialise’ new software platform for surgery planning and simulation and comes in two flavors. SurgiCase CMF is mended for the cranio-maxillofacial surgeon, while SurgiCase Orthopaedics is designed for planning orthopaedic surgeries. The orthopaedics and cranio-maxillofacial sessions run concurrently. Both sessions include lectures and hands-on trainings by prominent users such as Prof. Dr. Filip Stockmans from AZ Groeninge, Belgium and Prof. Dr. Hans-Florian Zeilhofer from the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland.
On the same day, the Mimics Software Training Program will be held, during which a variety of Mimics software training sessions will be offered. Every level of learner is welcomed here, as this program includes a basic training, an advanced training and an FEA workshop, in collaboration with CADFEM.
All experts in the field of 3D medical image processing and virtual surgery planning who want to stay in touch with innovations and new trends that go around in the their field are invited to this widely acclaimed event.

RE: Materialise Medical Innovations Conference

My the way, there was also a Medical Imaging conference, but in USA - on January 6-8, 2008 Tampa, Florida by Medical Now(m), New Imaging USA CFM, IUASA.

It was the place to check out the latest, most innovative technologies. One of them deserves an explicit remark - Mimics (medical imaging) software.
