About Us
UCLA's Medical & Imaging Informatics, past and present
2002-2008
DEVELOPING MEDICAL IMAGING INFORMATICS
With the growth of the field and diversity of our research, the group was renamed in 2002 to UCLA MII. This change also reflected the beginning of our graduate program in imaging informatics. We focused on development of methods for image standardization and understanding, as well as the integration of imaging to drive clinical knowledge and disease management.
2008-2019
ADVANCING BIOMEDICAL & IMAGING INFORMATICS
MII's faculty and students' work in this period spans beyond imaging to the broader area of biomedical informatics. Our research efforts involved imaging and imaging-related information; radiogenomics; structured reporting and statistical NLP methods; and the development of machine learning (ML) and other statistical methods for predictive modeling.
2019-Present
MAKING HEALTHCARE BETTER FOR EVERYONE
Today's MII embraces the challenges of digital health and artificial intelligence methods in medicine, examining the breadth of methodological, translational, and sociotechnical issues that arise when developing, and applying new computational approaches in healthcare. We tackle problems faced by real-world health systems, advancing new ideas and approaches to improve biomedical research and healthcare for everyone.
