  • Projection Mapping for In-Situ Surgery Planning by the Example of DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction 

    Martschinke, Jana; Klein, Vanessa; Kurth, Philipp; Engel, Klaus; Ludolph, Ingo; Hauck, Theresa; Horch, Raymund; Stamminger, Marc (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    Nowadays, many surgical procedures require preoperative planning, mostly relying on data from 3D imaging techniques like computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. However, preoperative assessment of this data is ...
  • AR-Assisted Craniotomy Planning for Tumour Resection 

    Wooning, Joost; Benmahdjoub, Mohamed; Walsum, Theo van; Marroquim, Ricardo (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    Craniotomy is a procedure where neurosurgeons open the patient's skull to gain direct access to the brain. The craniotomy's position defines the access path from the skull surface to the tumour and, consequently, the healthy ...
  • PerSleep: A Visual Analytics Approach for Performance Assessment of Sleep Staging Models 

    Garcia Caballero, Humberto S.; Corvò, Alberto; Meulen, Fokke van; Fonseca, Pedro; Overeem, Sebasitaan; Wijk, Jarke J. van; Westenberg, Michel A. (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    Machine learning is becoming increasingly popular in the medical domain. In the near future, clinicians expect predictive models to support daily tasks such as diagnosis and prognostic analysis. For this reason, it is ...
  • Multiple Scale Visualization of Electronic Health Records to Support Finding Medical Narratives 

    Linden, Sanne van der; Wijk, Jarke J. van; Funk, Mathias (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    Electronic Health Records (EHRs) contain rich medical information about patients, possibly hundreds of notes, lab results, images and other information. Doctors can easily be overwhelmed by this wealth of information. For ...
  • Shading Style Assessment for Vessel Wall and Lumen Visualization 

    Ostendorf, Kai; Mastrodicasa, Domenico; Bäumler, Kathrin; Codari, Marina; Turner, Valery; Willemink, Martin J.; Fleischmann, Dominik; Preim, Bernhard; Mistelbauer, Gabriel (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    Current blood vessel rendering usually depicts solely the surface of vascular structures and does not visualize any interior structures. While this approach is suitable for most applications, certain cardiovascular diseases, ...
  • Automatic Animations to Analyze Blood Flow Data 

    Apilla, Vikram; Behrendt, Benjamin; Lawonn, Kai; Preim, Bernhard; Meuschke, Monique (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    We present an approach for computing camera animations composed of optimal views to support the visual exploration of blood flow data using cerebral aneurysms as major example. Medical researchers are interested in hemodynamic ...
  • 2.5D Geometric Mapping of Aortic Blood Flow Data for Cohort Visualization 

    Behrendt, Benjamin; Pleuss-Engelhardt, David; Gutberlet, Matthias; Preim, Bernhard (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    Four-dimensional phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (4D PC-MRI) allows for a non-invasive acquisition of timeresolved blood flow measurements, providing a valuable aid to clinicians and researchers seeking a better ...
  • Automatic Cutting and Flattening of Carotid Artery Geometries 

    Eulzer, Pepe; Richter, Kevin; Meuschke, Monique; Hundertmark, Anna; Lawonn, Kai; , (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    We propose a novel method to cut and flatten vascular geometry that results in an intuitive mapping between the 3D and 2D domains. Our approach is fully automatic, and the sole input is the vessel geometry. We aim to ...
  • Reducing Model Uncertainty in Crossing Fiber Tractography 

    Gruen, Johannes; Voort, Gemma van der; Schultz, Thomas (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    Diffusion MRI (dMRI) tractography permits the non-invasive reconstruction of major white matter tracts, and is therefore widely used in neurosurgical planning and in neuroscience. However, it is affected by various sources ...

    Sugathan, Sherin; Bartsch, Hauke; Riemer, Frank; Grüner, Renate; Lawonn, Kai; Smit, Noeska N. (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
    Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a brain disease that is diagnosed and monitored extensively through MRI scans. One of the criteria is the appearance of so-called brain lesions. The lesions show up on MRI scans as regions with ...
  • The Role of Depth Perception in XR from a Neuroscience Perspective: A Primer and Survey 

    Hushagen, Vetle; Tresselt, Gustav C.; Smit, Noeska N.; Specht, Karsten (The Eurographics Association, 2021)
