Enhancing Slice-based Visualizations of Medical Volume Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2006)
Slice-based visualizations of CT and MRI data are frequently used for diagnosis, intervention planning and intraoperative navigation since they allow a precise analysis and localization. We present new techniques to enhance ...
Staircase-Aware Smoothing of Medical Surface Meshes
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
The evaluation of spatial relationships between anatomic structures is a major task in surgical planning. Surface models generated from medical image data (intensity, binary) are often used for visualization and 3D measurement ...
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 ...
Importance-Driven Structure Categorization for 3D Surgery Planning
(The Eurographics Association, 2010)
We present an importance-driven categorization approach to automatically gather all currently required structures for the surgery planning process. Therefore, we analyzed common demands for tumor intervention planning and ...
Hardware-accelerated Stippling of Surfaces derived from Medical Volume Data
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)
We present a fast hardware-accelerated stippling method which does not require any preprocessing for placing points on surfaces. The surfaces are automatically parameterized in order to apply stippling textures without ...
Model-free Surface Visualization of Vascular Trees
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)
Expressive and efficient visualizations of complex vascular structures are essential for medical applications, such as diagnosis and therapy planning. A variety of techniques has been developed which provide smooth ...
Viewpoint Selection for Intervention Planning
(The Eurographics Association, 2007)
Viewpoint selection is crucial for medical intervention planning. The interactive exploration of a scene with 3d objects involves the systematic analysis of several anatomic structures. Viewpoint selection techniques enhance ...
Interactive Visualization for Neck-Dissection Planning
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
In this paper, we present visualization techniques for neck dissection planning. These interventions are carried out to remove lymph node metastasis in the neck region. 3d visualization is intended to explore and to quantify ...
Combining Silhouettes, Surface, and Volume Rendering for Surgery Education and Planning
(The Eurographics Association, 2005)
We introduce a flexible combination of volume, surface, and line rendering.We employ object-based edge detection because this allows a flexible parametrization of the generated lines. Our techniques were developed mainly ...
A Four-level Focus + Context Approach to Interactive Visual Analysis of Temporal Features in Large Scientific Data
(The Eurographics Association and Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2008)
In this paper we present a new approach to the interactive visual analysis of time-dependent scientific data - both from measurements as well as from computational simulation - by visualizing a scalar function over time ...
