A central topic in scientific visualization is the transfer function (TF) for volume rendering.
The TF serves a fundamental role in translating scalar and multivariate data into color and …

With the increasing availability of high-resolution isotropic three-or four-dimensional medical
datasets from sources such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and …

With the advent of the big-data era, massive information stored in electronic and digital forms
on the internet become valuable resources for knowledge discovery in engineering design …

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

Direct volume rendering is an important tool for visualizing complex data sets. However, in
the process of generating 2D images from 3D data, information is lost in the form of …

In this paper, we propose a volume visualization system that accepts direct manipulation
through a sketch-based What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) approach. Similar to the …

In this paper, we introduce the concept of isosurface similarity maps for the visualization of
volume data. Iso‐surface similarity maps present structural information of a volume data set …

The diagnosis of certain spine pathologies, such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis and
vertebral fractures, is part of the daily clinical routine. Very frequently, magnetic resonance …

Despite the ever-growing improvements on graphics processing units and computational
power, classifying 3D volume data remains a challenge. In this paper, we present a new …

Direct volume rendered images (DVRIs) have been widely used to reveal structures in
volumetric data. However, DVRIs generated by many volume visualization techniques can …
