MIIVIS
Medical Visualization: One of the current trends in medical and industrial imaging is the combination of nD images of different imaging devices and the direct extraction of spatio-temporal or structural multidimensional information to get a more complete picture of a certain object. Two main challenges still unsolved in available commercial software can be identified in this context and will be addressed in this project: (a) A high amount of image data requires accurate and automatic task, object, and device specific information extraction. This problem isonly solved for very specific diagnostic tasks, and existing solutions are not flexible enough to be directly applied to future problems. (b) The multidimensional character of information requires the development of appropriate visualization methods.
This project aims at reacting on ongoing technological and methodological developments in image based diagnostic tasks with focus on healthcare and industrial imaging by providing made-to-measure solutions for highly automatic analysis and visualization of n-dimensional medical and industrial images.
MIIVIS will be primarily linked to the ENGVIS project, benefiting from all visualization and analysis approaches dealing with large and 3D data. Especially the linking of techniques from scientific visualization with information visualization will also play an important role in future applications dealing with large volumetric data from numerous sources.
