The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition to acknowledge the contribution that computer graphics is playing in the medical field, and to encourage further development.

In 2010 the Eurographics Medical Prize was renamed to honor Dirk Bartz who passed away far too early in March 2010.  Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine.

Dirk Bartz was an active member of the Eurographics Association and Chair of the EG Medical Prize 2007 and 2009.

CALL

Submissions for the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2013 are now being invited from researchers and developers who can demonstrate that a particular benefit has resulted from the use of computer graphics technology in a medical application that they have produced. Examples of entries could include the use of new data visualization techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments.

Instructions for submission can be found at https://srm.eg.org/SRM_EG2013MED

WINNERS

The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2013 will receive a prize and their submission will be published in the “Short and Areas Papers and Medical Prize Awards” proceedings. The judging panel will select the winning entries on the basis of their clinical value, use made of computer graphics, and novelty. All three winning teams will have an opportunity to briefly present their results at Eurographics 2013 in Girona (Spain), 6-10 May, which means that at least one author of each winning team must attend to present the results.
