Efficient seeding and defragmentation of curvature streamlines for colonic polyp detection

Many computer aided diagnosis (CAD) schemes have been developed for colon cancer detection using Virtual Colonoscopy (VC). In earlier work, we developed an automatic polyp detection method integrating flow visualization techniques, that forms part of the CAD functionality of an existing Virtual Colonoscopy pipeline. Curvature streamlines were...

Interactive visualization of fused fMRI and DTI for planning brain tumor resections

The surgical removal of brain tumors can lead to functional impairment. Therefore it is crucial to minimize the damage to important functional areas during surgery. These areas can be mapped before surgery by using functional MRI. However, functional impairment is not only caused by damage to these areas themselves. It is also caused by damage...
