Description
Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in medical diagnosis, education,
and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the applications and their validation (how reliable are the results?), and the clinical
evaluation of the applications (are the techniques useful?). It discusses visualization techniques from research literature as well as
the compromises required to solve practical clinical problems.
The book covers image acquisition, image analysis, and interaction techniques
designed to explore and analyze the data. The final chapter shows how visualization is used for planning liver surgery, one of the most
demanding surgical disciplines. The book is based on several years of the authors' teaching and research experience. Both authors have
initiated and lead a variety of interdisciplinary projects involving computer scientists and medical doctors, primarily radiologists
and surgeons.
Audience
Research physicians and scientists in visualization and computer-assisted radiology and surgery; graduate students in visualization and
medical imaging; software and algorithm developers in medical imaging companies, such as GE, Siemens Medical Solutions, Philips Medical,
Toshiba, and Tiani; developers in visualization companies, such as IBM, Mercury, Vaytec, Kitware, and Silicon Graphics.
