Automated Slice-Based Artery Identification in Various Field-of-View CTA Scans
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Automated identification of main arteries in Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) scans plays a key role in the initialization of vessel tracking algorithms. Automated vessel tracking tools support physicians in vessel ... -
Fiber Stipples for Crossing Tracts in Probabilistic Tractography
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Given diffusion weighted magnetic resonance (dMRI) data, tractography methods may reconstruct estimations of neural connections of the human brain, so called tractograms. Probabilistic tractography algorithms generate a ... -
A Two-Level Cascade Classification Algorithm for Real-Time Bifurcation Detection in CTA Images of Blood Vessels
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)We introduce a cascade classification algorithm for bifurcation detection in Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) scans of blood vessels. The proposed algorithm analyzes the vessel surrounding by a trained classifier ... -
Illustrative Multi-volume Rendering for PET/CT Scans
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)In this paper we present illustrative visualization techniques for PET/CT datasets. PET/CT scanners acquire both PET and CT image data in order to combine functional metabolic information with structural anatomical ... -
Interactive Position-dependent Customization of Transfer Function Classification Parameters in Volume Rendering
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)In direct volume rendering (DVR) and related techniques a basic operation is the classification of data values by mapping (mostly scalar) intensities to color values using a transfer function. However, in some cases this ... -
Motion-moderated Transfer Function for Volume Rendering 4D CMR Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) produces time-varying volume data by combining conventional MRI techniques with ECG gating. It allows physicians to inspect the dynamics of a beating heart, such as myocardium motion ... -
