Bengtsson
was the main technical researcher behind the development of a high performance
computerized microscope with applications in automated cervical cancer
screening and chromosome analysis. The project was run in an academic setting
1993-1983. Then a company, Imtec, was established and Bengtsson served as Head
of development 1983-1989. The development group consisted of up to 20 persons.
A dedicated image analysis computer system and a workstation for computer
assisted radiology were also developed.
·
Based
on this development team a consulting company was formed with Bengtsson as
driving force. He was also active in the formation of two other companies
active in applied medical image analysis Computer Wound Analysis Institute AB
and

Bengtsson
was one of the founders of the Centre for Image analysis at
·
He
has also initiated numerous university wide reforms in the general IT field as
vice-rector/rektorsråd for IT and head of the virtual IT-faculty.
·
He
was the initiator, main applicant and head of the scientific reference group of
the national research network VISIT, funded by SSF 1996-2001 with a total of 48
MSEK.

We usually
have some international postdocs or professors on sabbatical leave working at
the CBA. For more details I refer to www.cb.uu.se, where both current and former
activities at CBA are documented.
