Recognizing the imaging pipeline and the needs of the imaging users and experts within the Helmholtz Association the MDC focuses on image data preparation, management and processing with a particular focus on the integration of image data, algorithms, and visualization solutions across multiple modalities and scales in space and time. The goal is to develop and provide Helmholtz Imaging Solutions that can deal with the very heterogeneous image data that are acquired across the research fields of Helmholtz without imposing constraints on the respective image modalities.
