Purpose Augmented reality (AR) obtains increasing acceptance in the operating room.
However, a meaningful augmentation of the surgical view with a 3D visualization of planning …

A large variety of techniques has been developed to visualize vascular structures. These
techniques differ in the necessary preprocessing effort, in the computational effort to create …

Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in
medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the …

Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States, and finding indicators of the
disease at an early stage is critical for treatment and prevention. In this paper we evaluate …

Visual Computing for Medicine, Second Edition, offers cutting-edge visualization techniques
and their applications in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book includes …

We present a technique for the illustrative rendering of 3D line data at interactive frame
rates. We create depth-dependent halos around lines to emphasize tight line bundles while …

This survey provides an overview of perceptually motivated techniques for the visualization
of medical image data, including physics‐based lighting techniques as well as illustrative …

Cerebral vascular images obtained through angiography are used by neurosurgeons for
diagnosis, surgical planning, and intraoperative guidance. The intricate branching of the …

Shaded relief is an effective method for visualising terrain on topographic maps, especially
when the direction of illumination is adapted locally to emphasise individual terrain features …

In this paper, we survey illustrative rendering techniques for 3D surface models. We first
discuss the field of illustrative visualization in general and provide a new definition for this …
