Annotated Dendrograms for Neurons From the Larval Fruit Fly Brain
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Recent advances in neuroscience have made it possible to reconstruct all neurons of an entire neural circuit in the larval fruit fly brain from serial electron microscopy image stacks. The reconstructed neurons are ... -
Automatic Generation of Web-Based User Studies to Evaluate Depth Perception in Vascular Surface Visualizations
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)User studies are often required in biomedical visualization application papers in order to provide evidence for the utility of the presented approach. An important aspect is how well depth information can be perceived, as ... -
A Critical Analysis of the Evaluation Practice in Medical Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Medical visualization aims at directly supporting physicians in diagnosis and treatment planning, students and residents in medical education, and medical physicists as well as other medical researchers in answering specific ... -
Estimation of Muscle Activity in One-Leg Stance from 3D Surface Deformation
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Muscular activity during human motion is usually quantified by measuring the electrical potential during muscle activation using electromyography (EMG). However, apart from producing electrical activity, muscular contraction ... -
A Framework for Visual Comparison of 4D PC-MRI Aortic Blood Flow Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Four-dimensional phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (4D PC-MRI) allows for the non-invasive acquisition of in-vivo blood flow, producing a patient-specific blood flow model in selected vascular structures, e.g. the ... -

Global and Local Mesh Morphing for Complex Biological Objects from µCT Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)We show how biologically coherent mesh models of animals can be created from µCT data to generate artificial yet naturally looking intermediate objects. The whole pipeline of processing algorithms is presented, starting ... -
ICG based Augmented-Reality-System for Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)In this paper we introduce a novel augmented-reality (AR) system for the sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. The AR system consists of a cubic recording device with integrated stereo near-infrared (NIR) and stereo color ... -
Improving Perception of Molecular Surface Visualizations by Incorporating Translucency Effects
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Molecular surfaces are a commonly used representation in the analysis of molecular structures as they provide a compact description of the space occupied by a molecule and its accessibility. However, due to the high ... -
Introducing CNN-Based Mouse Grim Scale Analysis for Fully Automated Image-Based Assessment of Distress in Laboratory Mice
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)International standards require close monitoring of distress of animals undergoing laboratory experiments in order to minimize the stress level and allow choosing minimally stressful procedures for the experiments. Currently, ... -
Iterative Exploration of Big Brain Network Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)A current quest in neurscience is the understanding of how genes, structure and behavior relate to one another. In recent years, big brain-initiatives and consortia have created vast resources of publicly available brain ... -
A Multilinear Model for Bidirectional Craniofacial Reconstruction
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)We present a bidirectional facial reconstruction method for estimating the skull given a scan of the skin surface and vice versa estimating the skin surface given the skull. Our approach is based on a multilinear model ... -
A New Vessel Enhancement Transform on Retinal Blood Vessels Segmentation
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)The automatic detection of retinal blood vessels is a very important task in computer aided-diagnosis of retinal diseases. In this work a new method is proposed for the automated detection of the retinal vessels. Three new ... -
Parameterization and Feature Extraction for the Visualization of Tree-like Structures
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)The study and visualization of vascular structures, using 3D models obtained from medical data, is an active field of research. Illustrative visualizations have been applied to this domain in multiple ways. Researchers ... -
Progressive and Efficient Multi-Resolution Representations for Brain Tractograms
(The Eurographics Association, 2018)Current tractography methods generate tractograms composed of millions of 3D polylines, called fibers, making visualization and interpretation extremely challenging, thus complexifying the use of this technique in a clinical ... -
A Prototype Holographic Augmented Reality Interface for Image-Guided Prostate Cancer Interventions
