      Oeltze-Jafra, Steffen; Pieper, Franz; Hillert, Reyk; Preim, Bernhard; Schubert, Walter (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Biological multi-channel microscopy data are often characterized by a high local entropy and phenotypically identical structures covering only a few pixels and forming disjoint regions spread over, e.g., a cell or a tissue ...

    • Imaging the Vascular Network of the Human Spleen from Immunostained Serial Sections 

      Ulrich, Christine; Lobachev, Oleg; Steiniger, Birte; Guthe, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      The spleen is one of the organs, where the micro-structure and the function on that level are not completely understood. It was for example only recently found that is has an open circulation, which distinguishes it from ...

    • Uncertainty-aware Ensemble of Classifiers for Segmenting Brain MRI Data 

      Al-Taie, Ahmed; Hahn, Horst K.; Linsen, Lars (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Estimating and visualizing uncertainty in medical image segmentation has become an active research area due to the necessity of making medical experts aware of possibly wrong segmentation decisions. Still, to our knowledge ...

      Selecting structures from volume data using direct over-the-visualization interactions, such as a paint brush, is perhaps the most intuitive method in a variety of application scenarios. Unfortunately, it seems difficult ...

    • Inlier Detection in Thermal Sensitive Images 

      Zadicario, Eyal; Carmi, N.; Ju, Tao; Cohen-Or, Daniel (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
      Image guidance of medical procedures may use thermal images to monitor a treatment. Analysis of the thermal images by the physician may be time consuming and confusing because the thermal image includes multiple outliers. ...

    • Interactive Visualization of Muscle Activity During Limb Movements: Towards Enhanced Anatomy Learning 

      Bauer, Armelle; Paclet, Florent; Cahouet, Violaine; Dicko, Ali-Hamadi; Palombi, Olivier; Faure, François; Troccaz, Jocelyne (The Eurographics Association, 2014)
