Visual Computing for Medicine: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

Visual Computing for Medicine, Second Edition, offers cutting-edge visualization techniques and their applications in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book includes algorithms, applications, and ideas on achieving reliability of results and clinical evaluation of the techniques covered. Preim and Botha illustrate visualization techniques from research, but also cover the information required to solve practical clinical problems. They base the book on several years of combined teaching and research experience. This new edition includes six new chapters on treatment planning, guidance and training; an updated appendix on software support for visual computing for medicine; and a new global structure that better classifies and explains the major lines of work in the field. Complete guide to visual computing in medicine, fully revamped and updated with new developments in the fieldIllustrated in full colorIncludes a companion website offering additional content for professors, source code, algorithms, tutorials, videos, exercises, lessons, and more INDICE: *All chapters are significantly updated; From part IV onwards the top-level structure has been reorganized and improved; The new chapters highlighted. Introduction Part I: Acquisition, Analysis and Interpretation of Medical Volume Data Acquisition of Medical Image Data Perception and Interpretation of Medical Image Data Medical Volume Data in Clinical Practice--Has to be extended beyond radiology. Pathology, surgery, tumor board, patient consultation, intraoperative use Image Analysis--More focus on Interactive segmentation, random walker, graph cuts and mass-spring models, also consider/touch GPU implementation. Part II: Volume Visualization Fundamentals of Volume Visualization Indirect Volume Visualization Direct Volume Visualization Advanced Direct Volume Visualization (as contributing author: Timo Ropinski) Shading, Depth-Enhancement, Multimodal Rendering Part III: Exploration of Medical Volume Data Transfer Function Specification Clipping, Cutting and Virtual Resection Measurements in Medical Visualization Part IV: Advanced Visualization Techniques Visualization of Vascular Structures (perhaps two chapters: one for mesh-based techniques, one for volume rendering techniques)Intraoperative Visualization ALL NEW: Glyph-based Medical Visualization Illustrative Medical Visualization Projections and Reformations Aneurysm maps, Volumetric Bulls Eye Plot (VBEP), Tumor maps Curved Planar Reformation (more extended explanation than in indirect volume rendering chapter) Part V: Advanced Applications Virtual Endoscopy ALL NEW: Visualization of Microscopy Data Visualization of DTI Data Visual Analysis of Perfusion Data ALL NEW: Visual Analysis of Health Care Data ALL NEW: Part VI: Treatment planning, guidance and training ALL NEW: HCI Aspects of Visual Computing Solutions for Clinical Medicine (Task Analysis, Scenario- and Workflow-oriented approaches) ALL NEW: Integration of Biophysical Simulation in Treatment Planning Solutions ALL NEW: Computer Assisted Surgery: An Overview ALL NEW: Visual Computing for Neurosurgery-Neuroimaging, Brain Surgery, AVM Surgery ALL NEW: Visual Computing for ENT Surgery-Image Data, Clinical Problems, Image Analysis, Visualization Techniques, Interaction Techniques ALL NEW: Visual Computing in Orthopedics Visual Computing in Medical Training Systems Appendix: Software Support for Visual Computing in Medicine (as contributing author: Timo Ropinski)
