The goal of the Astronomical Medicine project is to make the specific
modifications to existing medical imaging programs that enable their use in
astronomical research. In particular, two software packages (3D Slicer and
OsiriX) are being modified and used on data from the COMPLETE Survey of
Star-Forming Regions, in order to characterize the physical nature of gas
that forms new stars in our Galaxy.
