An atom-centered protocol based method for surface sampling in grid space is proposed. Van der Waals, solvent-accessible and solvent-excluded surface can be generated in a unified framework. A spherical hash function is used to mark whether the points are inside a sphere, and the hash tables are used to record which spheres the surface points locate on. The proposed method can be modified to apply in the parallel computation directly, which is useful for molecular dynamics simulation, docking and surface comparison and so on. Our tests indicate that the proposed method is efficient and the generated surfaces are suitable for quantitative analysis and visualization.

This paper describes the Medical Visualizer, a real-time visualization system for analyzing medical volumetric data in various virtual environments, such as autostereoscopic displays, dual-projector screens and immersive environments such as the CAVE. Direct volume rendering is used for visualizing the details of medical volumetric data sets without intermediate geometric representations. By interactively manipulating the color and transparency functions through the friendly user interface, radiologists can either inspect the data set as a whole or focus on a specific region. In our system, 3D texture hardware is employed to accelerate the rendering process. The system is designed to be platform independent, as all virtual reality functions are separated from kernel functions. Due to its modular design, our system can be easily extended to other virtual environments, and new functions can be incorporated rapidly.

A 3D multiscale view has been developed for medical datasets that are composed of multiple images of very different spatial sizes. The example data consisted of 3 volume images of bone: a 400 mm femur; a 20 mm micro-CT image of trabeculae; and a 0.5 mm nano-CT image of a single trabecula. The images were nested, the nano-CT being inside the micro-CT, which was within the head of the femur. The images were visualised using a volume slice view. The dataset was multiscale in that each image could not be usefully resolved at the scale of the next larger image. The multiscale interaction within the system is based on the replacement of sub-scale images by small click-and-zoom tokens. Issues relating to interaction with the tokens are discussed and early outcomes from this form representation are described.

Collaboration on the storage, processing and visualisation of medical data via the Internet is a considerable challenge and one that is growing in importance due to the escalating interest in the Virtual Physiological Human. Investigations into possible approaches for distributed, realtime visualisation are important in this context. This paper presents a Web Services approach to distributed visualisation that has been developed within the LHDL project. The processing and visualisation Web Services that have been created are based on existing MAF applications; this has formed a useful testbed for transforming legacy software into Web Services. On the client side, a Rich Internet Application concept was adopted, while a web-based, user friendly Flex client has been implemented.

Based on the anatomical consistency in two series MRI images of a patient in different postures, an algorithm computing a spatially intersectant line of two images from each series is proposed. Furthermore, the anatomical corresponding section of 3D datasets formed by these series can be located. Finally, the datasets are 3D visualized with VTK (visualization ToolKits). This would be of great help to physicians when they give diagnoses. Also, the algorithm has its application in image registration, image segmentation and 3D visualization.

Extracting dense sub-components from graphs efficiently is an important objective in a wide range of application domains ranging from social network analysis to biological network analysis, from the World Wide Web to stock market analysis. Motivated by this need recently we have seen several new algorithms to tackle this problem based on the (frequent) pattern mining paradigm. A limitation of most of these methods is that they are highly sensitive to parameter settings, rely on exhaustive enumeration with exponential time complexity, and often fail to help the users understand the underlying distribution of components embedded within the host graph. In this article we propose an approximate algorithm, to mine and visualize cohesive subgraphs (dense sub components) within a large graph. The approach, refereed to as Cohesive Subgraph visualization (CSV) relies on a novel mapping strategy that maps edges and nodes to a multi-dimensional space wherein dense areas in the mapped space correspond to cohesive subgraphs. The algorithm then walks through the dense regions in the mapped space to output a visual plot that effectively captures the overall dense sub-component distribution of the graph. Unlike extant algorithms with exponential complexity, CSV has a complexity of O(V 2logV) when fixing the parameter mapping dimension, where V corresponds to the number of vertices in the graph, although for many real datasets the performance is typically sub-quadratic. We demonstrate the utility of CSV as a stand-alone tool for visual graph exploration and as a pre-filtering step to significantly scale up exact subgraph mining algorithms such as CLAN [33].

In many clinical applications, interactive exploration of three dimension medical data sets is required, but the huge amount of computational time and storage space needed for rendering do not allow the visualization of large medical data sets by now. In this paper we present a new algorithm for rendering large medical data sets on standard PC. The key technique is a new representation method of large medical dataset based on an efficient octree data structure. First, the input data is converted into a compressed hierarchical octree representation. Then, a template-based raycasting scheme using shear-warp factorization for expediting parallel viewing of volume datasets is employed. The algorithm exploits the uniform shape, orientation and size of the "nonempty" octree blocks by building templates for ray/block intersections in the case of raycasting. Experiment results display that high quality human body interior images of a large dataset can be generated by the proposed approach on a standard PC platform fast.
