designed to promote research in areas of mutual value and interest to
IBM and universities. Four laboratories - one in the Medical Faculty,
two in the Computer Science Faculty (Center for Graphics and Geometric Computing
(CGGC)
& Geometric Image Processing Lab
(GIP)) and one in the
Mechanical Engineering Faculty (CAD lab) - beneficiaries of the
equipment grant, will be combining resources and expertise in the area
of multidimensional medical image analysis, processing and
visualization. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the
Hybrid Service Platforms Group and other group in
IBM's Haifa Research Lab). The core Technion group will grow to include other groups and
