Fully Automatic Skull-Stripping in 3D Time-of-Flight MRA Image Sequences
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In this paper we present a robust skull-stripping method for the isolation of cerebral tissue in 3D Time-of-Flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiographic images of the brain. 3D TOF images are often acquired in case of ... -
Automatic Hepatocyte Quantification from Histological Images: Comparing Pre-smoothing filters
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Quantity of hepatocytes in the liver can reveal a lot of information for medical researchers. In our project, it is needed for evaluation of the liver regeneration rate. In this paper, we present a processing pipeline for ... -
FluoroSim: A Visual Problem-Solving Environment for Fluorescence Microscopy
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Fluorescence microscopy provides a powerful method for localization of structures in biological specimens. However, aspects of the image formation process such as noise and blur from the microscope s point-spread function ... -
Visual Analysis of Bipartite Biological Networks
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In life sciences, the importance of complex network visualization is ever increasing. Yet, existing approaches for the visualization of networks are general purpose techniques that are often not suited to support the ... -
Illustrated Ultrasound for Multimodal Data Interpretation of Liver Examinations
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Traditional visualization of real-time 2D ultrasound data is difficult to interpret, even for experienced medical personnel. To make the interpretation during the education phase easier, we enhance the visualization during ... -
Focus + Context Rendering of Structured Biomedical Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Biomedical data can be classified according to different taxonomies. Understanding the relationships between different data categories is essential for an in-depth knowledge of the data. We present a volume rendering system ... -
Automatic Segmentation of the Pelvic Bones from CT Data Based on a Statistical Shape Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)We present an algorithm for automatic segmentation of the human pelvic bones from CT datasets that is based on the application of a statistical shape model. The proposed method is divided into three steps: 1) The averaged ... -
Information-based Transfer Functions for Multimodal Visualization
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Transfer functions are an essential part of volume visualization. In multimodal visualization at least two values exist at every sample point. Additionally, other parameters, such as gradient magnitude, are often retrieved ... -
GPU Accelerated Normalized Mutual Information and B-Spline Transformation
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Visualization of multimodal images in medicine and other application areas requires correct and efficient registration. Optimally, the alignment operation is made an integral part of the rendering process. Voxel based ... -
Reconstruction of Blood Vessels from Neck CT Datasets using Stable 3D Mass-Spring Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Preoperative neck dissection planning benefits from a smooth, organic visualization of the main blood vessels of the neck, in particular the carotid artery and jugular vein. While most reconstruction techniques for vasculature ... -
Computational Steering for Patient-Specific Implant Planning in Orthopedics
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Fast and reliable methods for predicting and monitoring in-vivo bone strength are of great importance for hip joint replacement. To avoid adaptive remodeling with cortical thinning and increased porosity of the bone due ... -
Generation of a Mean Motion Model of the Lung Using 4D-CT Image Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Modeling of respiratory motion gains in importance within the field of radiation therapy of lung cancer patients. Current modeling approaches are usually confined to intra-patient registration of 3D image data representing ... -
Robust Classification and Analysis of Anatomical Surfaces Using 3D Skeletons
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)We present a method for computing a surface classifier that can be used to detect convex ridges on voxel sur- faces extracted from 3D scans. In contrast to classical approaches based on (discrete) curvature computations, ... -
Surface Curvature Line Clustering for Polyp Detection in CT Colonography
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)Automatic polyp detection is a helpful addition to laborious visual inspection in CT colonography. Traditional detection methods are based on calculating image features at discrete positions on the colon wall. However ... -
Computation of More Channels in Protein Molecules
(The Eurographics Association, 2008)In the process of designing drugs it is crucial to perform various analyses of cavities and channels in protein molecules. Chemists also require that more than one ideal channel be computed in a static protein molecule. ... -
Computation and Visualization of Asynchronous Behavior of the Heart
