    Harth, Philipp; Vohra, Sumit; Udvary, Daniel; Oberlaender, Marcel; Hege, Hans-Christian; Baum, Daniel (The Eurographics Association, 2022)
    The analysis of brain networks is central to neurobiological research. In this context the following tasks often arise: (1) understand the cellular composition of a reconstructed neural tissue volume to determine the nodes ...
  • Predicting, Analyzing and Communicating Outcomes of COVID-19 Hospitalizations with Medical Images and Clinical Data 

    Stritzel, Oliver; Raidou, Renata Georgia (The Eurographics Association, 2022)
    We propose PACO, a visual analytics framework to support the prediction, analysis, and communication of COVID-19 hospitalization outcomes. Although several real-world data sets about COVID-19 are openly available, most of ...
  • Understanding Graph Convolutional Networks to detect Brain Lesions from Stroke 

    Iporre-Rivas, Ariel; Scheuermann, Gerik; Gillmann, Christina (The Eurographics Association, 2022)
    Brain lesions derived from stroke episodes can result in disabilities for a patient. Therefore, the segmentation of brain lesions is an important task in neurology. Recently this task has been mainly tackled by machine ...
  • Visual Analytics to Assess Deep Learning Models for Cross-Modal Brain Tumor Segmentation 

    Magg, Caroline; Raidou, Renata Georgia (The Eurographics Association, 2022)
    Accurate delineations of anatomically relevant structures are required for cancer treatment planning. Despite its accuracy, manual labeling is time-consuming and tedious-hence, the potential of automatic approaches, such ...
  • HistoContours: a Framework for Visual Annotation of Histopathology Whole Slide Images 

    Al-Thelaya, Khaled; Joad, Faaiz; Gilal, Nauman Ullah; Mifsud, William; Pintore, Giovanni; Gobbetti, Enrico; Agus, Marco; Schneider, Jens (The Eurographics Association, 2022)
    We present an end-to-end framework for histopathological analysis of whole slide images (WSIs). Our framework uses deep learning-based localization & classification of cell nuclei followed by spatial data aggregation to ...
  • Multi-modal 3D Image Registration Using Interactive Voxel Grid Deformation and Rendering 

    Richard, Thomas; Chastagnier, Yan; Szabo, Vivien; Chalard, Kevin; Summa, Brian; Thiery, Jean-Marc; Boubekeur, Tamy; Faraj, Noura (The Eurographics Association, 2022)
    We introduce a novel multi-modal 3D image registration framework based on 3D user-guided deformation of both volume's shape and intensity values. Being able to apply deformations in 3D gives access to a wide new range of ...

  • Polyp-Cavity Segmentation of Cold-Water Corals guided by Ambient Occlusion and Ambient Curvature 

    Schmitt, Benedikt; Titschack, Jürgen; Baum, Daniel (The Eurographics Association, 2022)
    The segmentation of cavities in three-dimensional images of arbitrary objects is a difficult problem since the cavities are usually connected to the outside of the object without any difference in image intensity. Hence, ...
