cellVIEW: a Tool for Illustrative and Multi-Scale Rendering of Large Biomolecular Datasets
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)In this article we introduce cellVIEW, a new system to interactively visualize large biomolecular datasets on the atomic level. Our tool is unique and has been specifically designed to match the ambitions of our domain ... -
Challenges and Technologies for Low Cost Wheelchair Simulation
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)The use of electric wheelchairs is inherently risky, as collisions due to lack of control can result in injury for the user, but also potentially for other pedestrians. Introducing new users to powered chairs via virtual ... -
CoWRadar: Visual Quantification of the Circle of Willis in Stroke Patients
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)This paper presents a method for the visual quantification of cerebral arteries, known as the Circle of Willis (CoW). The CoW is an arterial structure that is responsible for the brain's blood supply. Dysfunctions of this ... -
Discovering Medical Knowledge Using Visual Analytics
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Due to advanced technologies, the amount of biomedical data has been increasing drastically. Such large data sets might be obtained from hospitals, medical practices or laboratories and can be used to discover unknown ... -
Exploration of 3D Medical Image Data for Interventional Radiology using Myoelectric Gesture Control
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Human-computer interaction with medical images in a sterile environment is a challenging task. It is often delegated to an assistant or performed directly by the physician with an interaction device wrapped in a sterile ... -
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 ... -
FoldSynth: Interactive 2D/3D Visualisation Platform for Molecular Strands
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)FoldSynth is an interactive platform designed to help understand the characteristics and commonly used visual abstractions of molecular strands with an emphasis on proteins and DNA. It uses a simple model of molecular ... -

Haptics-based Modelling of Pigmented Skin Lesions
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Dermatology is under-represented in medical undergraduate education with newly graduated doctors not being able to identify common and important skin conditions. In order to become competent in diagnosing skin lesions, it ... -
A Haptics-enabled Simulator for Transperineal Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)We present the development of a transperineal prostate biopsy, with high fidelity haptic feedback. We describe our current prototype, which is using physical props and a Geomagic Touch. In addition, we discuss a method for ... -
Histology-Based Evaluation of Optical Coherence Tomographic Characteristics of the Cerebral Artery Wall via Virtual Inflating
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)With an increased rate of cerebrovascular diseases, the need for an advanced vessel wall analysis increases as well. In this work, we provide new information of cerebral artery walls extracted with optical coherence ... -
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 ... -
Image Registration Methods for Patient-Specific Virtual Physiological Human Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)In this paper, current status of image registration is reviewed with respect to physiological, morphological and anatomical aspects. There are ample choices of recent techniques for image registration which can be used, ... -
Instant Visualization of Secondary Structures of Molecular Models
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Molecular Dynamics simulations are of key importance in the drug design field. Among all possible representations commonly used to inspect these simulations, Ribbons has the advantage of giving the expert a good overview ... -
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 ... -
Parametric-based Reconstruction Of 3D Mesh Models; Towards the Generation of a Parametric Human Foot Biomodel
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)In this work a new reconstruction technique is presented based on Parametric-Based Deformation. The new method uses a template 3D mesh model which is deformed according to user-defined semantic parameters in order to derive ... -
QuantiScale: A Study in Redesigning Interactions for Multi-Touch
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)We investigate the performance of QuantiScale, a new multi-touch interaction technique for the quantification of distances in medical images and discuss the benefits and prospects of redesigning interactions with multi-touch ... -
Schematic Electrode Map for Navigation in Neuro Data Sets
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)Neuro resection surgery is one of the last resorts when treating epilepsy patients where conservative treatment shows no effect on seizure reduction. However, due to the severity of the surgery, the resection planning has ... -
