Chapters

Chapter 1

Individual Differences Among Users: Implications for the Design of 3D Medical Visualizations (pages 1-24)

Madeleine Keehner, Peter Khooshabeh, Mary Hegarty

This chapter examines human factors associated with using interactive three-dimensional (3D) visualizations. Virtual representations of anatomical structure and function, often with sophisticated user control capabilities, are...

Chapter 2

Grid-Based Visualization and its Medical Applications (pages 25-57)

Yingjun Qiu, Youbing Zhao, Jiaoying Shi

Traditional visualization approaches cannot handle new challenges in the visualization field such as visualizing huge data sets, communicating between existing visualization systems and providing interactive visualization services...

Chapter 3

Reporting Clinical Gait Analysis Data (pages 58-72)

Raymond White, Robert Noble

Gait analysis is a special investigation that can assist clinical staff in the decision making process regarding treatment options for patients with walking difficulties. Interpretation of gait analysis data recorded from 3D motion...

Chapter 4

Capturing Data in Healthcare Using Patient-Centered Mobile Technology (pages 73-88)

Sarah Pajak, Lorraine H. De Souza, Justin Gore, Christopher G. Williams

This chapter outlines and discusses how an increasingly popular approach of incorporating patient perspectives and experience in research can be used to inform the development of user-centered technology in healthcare, with...

Chapter 5

Cluster-Based Multi-Dimensional Visualization: Harnessing Computational Resources for Real-Time Visualization (pages 89-113)

Douglas Janes, Michael J. Schulte, Ethan K. Brodsky, Walter F. Block

There is a growing need for high-frame-rate low-latency visualization solutions as medical practice moves toward interventional procedures. We present a cost-effective visualization system well suited for off-line visualization and...

Chapter 6

Supporting Spatial Cognition in Vascular Visualization (pages 114-135)

Timo Ropinski, Jennis Meyer-Spradow, Frank Steinicke, Klaus Hinrichs

In this chapter, we introduce visualization techniques which have been developed with the goal to improve diagnosis based on volumetric angiography datasets. In particular, we propose passive as well as active techniques to make...

Chapter 7

3D Interaction with Scientific Data Through Virtual Reality and Tangible Interfacing (pages 136-173)

Wen Qi, Russell M. Taylor, Christopher Healey, Jean-Bernard Martens

Three-dimensional (3D) interaction with scientific data is still an immature topic. It involves studying visualization methods to faithfully represent data, on the one hand, and designing interfaces that truly assist users in the...

Chapter 8

Automated Overlay of Infrared and Visual Medical Images (pages 174-183)

G. Schaefer, R. Tait, K. Howell, A. Hopgood, P. Woo, J. Harper

Medical infrared imaging captures the temperature distribution of the human skin and is employed in various medical applications. Often it is useful to cross-reference the resulting thermograms with visual images of the patient...

Chapter 9

Software Framework of Medical Visualization Algorithms (pages 184-204)

Ronghua Liang

Real-time visualization algorithms which are fully integrated into software framework are of importance for the rapid development of medical visualization applications. This chapter gives an overview of different software frameworks...

Chapter 10

Navigation in Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (pages 205-222)

Elena De Momi, Pietro Cerveri, Giancarlo Ferrigno

Originally developed for neurosurgery procedures, since late nineties Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) systems have been used in orthopaedic interventions. Such systems assist the surgeon during the preoperative or the intra-operative...

Chapter 11

Multi-Dimensional Transfer Functions Design (pages 223-240)

Hai Lin

Transfer function design is one of the most important procedures in volume rendering. Transfer function maps, which is a function mapping relationship, data values to display attributes, such as color and opacity. This chapter...

Chapter 12

Graphical Modeling of Human Muscles (pages 241-257)

X. Ye, F. Dong

Muscle simulation is an important component of human modeling. However, there have been few attempts to demonstrate, in an anatomically-correct way, muscle structures and the way in which these change during motion. This chapter...

Chapter 13

Image Segmentation (pages 258-279)

Dongbin Chen

This chapter introduces image segment techniques. These techniques, including pixel- based approaches, region-based approaches, classification techniques, deformable model algorithms, artificial neural network approaches and...

Selected Readings

Chapter 14

A Content-Based Approach to Medical Image Database Retrieval (pages 281-302)

Chia-Hung Wei, Chang-Tsun Li, Roland Wilson

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) makes use of image features, such as color and texture, to index images with minimal human intervention. Content-based image retrieval can be used to locate medical images in large databases. This...

Chapter 15

Methods and Applications for Segmenting 3D Medical Image Data (pages 303-320)

Hong Shen

In this chapter, we will give an intuitive introduction to the general problem of 3D medical image segmentation. We will give an overview of the popular and relevant methods that may be applicable, with a discussion about their...

Chapter 16

Parallel Segmentation of Multi-Channel Images Using Multi-Dimensional Mathematical Morphology (pages 321-340)

Antonio Plaza, Javier Plaza, David Valencia, Pablo Martinez

Multi-channel images are characteristic of certain applications, such as medical imaging or remotely sensed data analysis. Mathematical morphology-based segmentation of multi-channel imagery has not been fully accomplished yet...

Chapter 17

Biomedical Image Registration for Diagnostic Decision Making and Treatment Monitoring (pages 341-359)

Xiu Ying Wang, David Dagan Feng

The chapter introduces biomedical image registration as a means of integrating and providing complementary and additional information from multiple medical images simultaneously to facilitate diagnostic decision-making and treatment...

Chapter 18

A Software Tool for Reading DICOM Directory Files (pages 360-375)

Ricardo Villegas, Guillermo Montilla, Hyxia Villegas

DICOMDIR directory files are useful in medical software applications because they allow organized access to images and information sets that come from radiological studies that are stored in conformance with the digital imaging and...
