Atomistic Visualization of Mesoscopic Whole-Cell Simulations
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Molecular visualizations are a principal tool for analyzing the results of biochemical simulations. With modern GPU ray casting approaches it is only possible to render several millions of atoms at interactive frame rates ... -
Constrained Labeling of 2D Slice Data for Reading Images in Radiology
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)An important and underestimated task to support reading of images in radiology is a proper annotation of findings. In radiology reading, 2D slice images from a given modality (e.g. CT or MRI) need to be analyzed carefully ... -
Deriving and Visualizing Uncertainty in Kinetic PET Modeling
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Kinetic modeling is the tool of choice when developing new positron emission tomography (PET) tracers for quantitative functional analysis. Several approaches are widely used to facilitate this process. While all these ... -
Visualization and Exploration of 3D Toponome Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)The toponome of a cell describes the location and topological distribution of proteins across the cell. In toponomics, the toponome is imaged and its inner structure and its semantics are investigated in order to understand ... -
BrainCove: A Tool for Voxel-wise fMRI Brain Connectivity Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Functional brain connectivity from fMRI studies has become an important tool in studying functional interactions in the human brain as a complex network. Most recently, research has started focusing on whole brain functional ... -
Visually Guided Mesh Smoothing for Medical Applications
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Surface models derived from medical image data often exhibit artifacts, such as noise and staircases, which can be reduced by applying mesh smoothing filters. Usually, an iterative adaption of smoothing parameters to the ... -
Interactive Residual Stress Modeling for Soft Tissue Simulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Residual stress is the stress which remains in a deformable body in the absence of external forces. Due to the release of residual stress after cutting, soft tissues will shrink and the wound will open. Thus, to realistically ... -
From Imprecise User Input to Precise Vessel Segmentations
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Vessel segmentation is an important prerequisite for many medical applications. While automatic vessel segmentation is an active field of research, interaction and visualization techniques for semi-automatic solutions have ... -
Sketch-based Image-independent Editing of 3D Tumor Segmentations using Variational Interpolation
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)In the past years sophisticated automatic segmentation algorithms for various medical image segmentation problems have been developed. However, there are always cases where automatic algorithms fail to provide an acceptable ... -
On the Value of Multi-Volume Visualization for Preoperative Planning of Cerebral AVM Surgery
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Surgical treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) requires thourough preoperative planning for the intervening neurosurgeon. The goal of such planning is to gain a precise understanding of the patho-anatomy ... -
Combining B-Mode and Color Flow Vessel Segmentation for Registration of Hepatic CT and Ultrasound Volumes
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Multimodal registration of intraoperative ultrasound and preoperative computed tomography imaging is the basis for percutaneous hepatic interventions. Currently, a rigid registration is performed manually by the surgeon ... -
Lowest-Variance Streamlines for Filtering of 3D Ultrasound
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Ultrasound as an acoustic imaging modality suffers from various kinds of noise. The presence of noise especially hinders the 3D visualization of ultrasound data, both in terms of resolving the spatial occlusion of the ... -
Impact of Physical Noise Modeling on Image Segmentation in Echocardiography
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Segmentation is an essential task in ultrasound image analysis. Recently, the trend in literature is towards incorporation of high-level information, e.g., shape priors, since many low-level segmentation techniques suffer ... -
Geometrical-Acoustics-based Ultrasound Image Simulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Brightness modulation (B-Mode) ultrasound (US) images are used to visualize internal body structures during diagnostic and invasive procedures, such as needle insertion for Regional Anesthesia. Due to patient availability ... -
Tractography in Context: Multimodal Visualization of Probabilistic Tractograms in Anatomical Context
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Multi-modal display of neurological data in anatomical context is a challenging issue in biomedical visualization. We present an application-driven approach, which solves the visibility issues arising from the simultaneous ... -
Synaptic Connectivity in Anatomically Realistic Neural Networks: Modeling and Visual Analysis
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)The structural organization of neural circuitry is an important determinant of brain function. Thus, knowing the brain's wiring (the connectome) is key to understanding how it works. For example, understanding how sensory ... -
The BundleExplorer: A Focus and Context Rendering Framework for Complex Fiber Distributions
(The Eurographics Association, 2012)Advanced diffusion imaging enables the reconstruction of complex fiber configurations such as crossings or fannings. However, resulting visualizations often suffer from visual clutter which makes exploration challenging. ...
