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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
