Interpolation of field data from unstructured meshes requires the potentially expensive identification of the finite element or volume within which the interpolating point lies. A number of geometric search algorithms have been proposed to reduce this expense at the cost of setting up and storing additional search tables. Using tetrahedral finite element models we show that a structured auxiliary mesh (SAM) algorithm can achieve search speeds well in excess of 100,000 points/sec - at least an order of magnitude better than digital tree or nearest neighbour searches - with only modest setup times and storage requirements. Our novel SAM variant is found to offer the best performance per unit of storage, but at the expense of considerable setup times. We conclude that SAM algorithms can be used to provide a flexible "software-only" approach for real-time interpolation and visualization of unstructured mesh data.

In this paper, we present a new method for the 3D reconstruction and visualization of coronary arteries in biplane angiography. The proposed method performs direct reconstruction of 3D coronary artery pathways without computing the 2D or 3D vessel centerlines. A front propagation algorithm is used to reconstruct the coronary artery pathways in 3D space. Starting from one or more 3D points, the front is expanded with a propagation speed controlled by the combined image information from two 2D projections. Then the reconstructed 3D coronary artery pathways are smoothed to reflect the real situation of a smoothed vessel surface. As shown in the experiment result, the coronary artery can be successfully reconstructed from two projections of biplane angiograms.

We present a visualization oriented data mining tool designed for biomedical images with focus objects. The main functions of the tool are accessible via two interfaces: Query by Example and Query by Features. Each interface has visual feedback functions associated with it. The query-by-example interface allows the user to do similarity search using multiple image features. The visual feedback consists of positions of feature values in the database population distribution. Classification incorporates a measure of uncertainty that is based on class differentiation quality. Visual feedback includes visualizations of class likelihoods and uncertainty. Query-by-features interface helps the user explore the relationships among features and diagnoses. The visual feedback includes example images of extreme feature values, images from the database that satisfy query criteria and diagnoses distribution charts. Overall, the tool is designed to increase awareness of visual indicators of health risk in biomedical images. While the present application is focused on skin cancer awareness, the ideas are applicable to other types of biomedical images with focus objects, such as breast tumor and wound images.

We present a new approach to computer-aided training in medicine based on the visualisation of simulated clinical conditions using a virtual patient. Our system uses a knowledge-based model of cardiac physiology to generate realistic emergency situations (shock states). The overall results of the simulations are presented through a realistic 3D virtual patient whose behaviour and appearance are consistent with the clinical data generated. After introducing the principles behind the simulation and the system's architecture, we describe the process through which physiological parameters are mapped to the visual appearance of the 3D patient and discuss representative results from the system.

In this paper, we propose a human computer interaction model through consolidation and visualization for order entry systems. This model makes effective use of the patient database and features 1) the consolidation of order data, 2) the visualization of the order data two or more contextual viewpoints, and 3) a new data entry and decision support function which consists of several data validation functions. The proposed model supports doctors' comprehension of order data by presenting the diversity, continuity, and regularity. This model has been incorporated into the order entry system and is now being run on an experimental basis. The effectiveness of this system was verified by the questionnaire survey from doctors and the analysis of consolidation.

2D and 3D views are used together in many visualization domains, such as medical imaging, flow visualization, oceanographic visualization, and computer aided design (CAD). Combining these views into one display can be done by: (1) orientation icon (i.e., separate windows), (2) in-place methods (e.g., clip and cutting planes), and (3) a new method called ExoVis. How 2D and 3D views are displayed affects ease of mental registration (understanding the spatial relationship between views), an important factor influencing user performance. This paper compares the above methods in terms of their ability to support mental registration. Empirical results show that mental registration is significantly easier with in-place displays than with ExoVis, and significantly easier with ExoVis than with orientation icons. Different mental transformation strategies can explain this result. The results suggest that ExoVis may be a better alternative to orientation icons when in-place displays are not appropriate (e.g., when in-place methods hide data or cut the 3D view into several pieces).

In surgery, virtual and augmented reality are increasingly being used as new ways of training, preoperative planning, diagnosis and surgical navigation. Further development of virtual and augmented reality in medicine is moving towards photorealistic rendering and patient specific modeling, permitting high fidelity visual examination and user interaction. This coincides with the current development in computer vision and graphics where image information is used directly to render novel views of a scene. These techniques require extensive use of geometric information about the scene and provide a comprehensive review of the underlying techniques required for building patient specific models with photorealstic rendering. It also highlights some of the opportunities that image based modeling and rendering techniques can offer in the context of minimally invasive surgery.

With the rapid growth of the amount of biomolecular data, there is an increasing need to develop powerful techniques to enhance pattern discovery capabilities of bioscientists and machines. Based on a self-adaptive neural network, this paper presents a new approach to biomolecular pattern identification and visualisation. The method is applied to the classification of leukaemia samples, which are described by their expression profiles. The results indicate that this framework may significantly facilitate and improve pattern discovery and visualisation tasks, in comparison to traditional algorithms such as the Kohonen self-organising map.
