About

CMIC was established in 2005 to provide an interface between engineering and biomedical sciences.

What are the Centre's main aims?

The UCL Centre for Medical Image Computing (CMIC) aims to impact on key medical challenges facing 21st-century society through world-leading research on medical imaging, image analysis, and image-based modelling technologies and applications. CMIC aims to provide resources, leadership, mentoring, and career development for all its members, as well as a collaborative research environment with high national and international visibility.

A core principle of the Centre is to cover the complete imaging pathway, from basic numerical techniques to application-driven software systems. This provides close communication along this pathway, which focuses early-stage development on real problems and ensures that front-line systems use the latest underlying technology. Our wide set of medical application areas enables us to draw inspiration from existing topics and solve challenges in emerging applications.

Who are we?

CMIC is primarily a joint venture between the UCL Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering and the UCL Department of Computer Science. However, the Centre includes active members from over 10 UCL departments across four faculties (medicine, life sciences, and engineering), as well as many affiliated internal and external partners.
