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. * A core field of visualization and graphics missing a dedicated book until now * Written by pioneers in the field and illustrated in full color * Covers theory as well as practice Other books on Computer Graphics High Dynamic Range Imaging Reconstruction (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics) GPU-Based Techniques for Global Illumination Effects (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Graphics) Geometric Algebra for Computer Graphics Introduction to Computer Graphics: Using Java 2D and 3D (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science) Interactive Curve Modeling: with Applications to Computer Graphics, Vision and Image Processing Virtual Vixens: 3D Character Modeling and Scene Placement Vector Analysis for Computer Graphics Point-Based Graphics (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics) Visualization in Medicine: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics) (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics) Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art (Foundation) Geometric Algebra for Computer Science: An Object-Oriented Approach to Geometry (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics) Pixelization Paradigm: Visual Information Expert Workshop, VIEW 2006, Paris, France, April 24-25, 2006, Revised Selected Papers (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) Computer Graphics for Java Programmers Computer Graphics Using Java 2D and 3D GPU-Based Interactive Visualization Techniques (Mathematics and Visualization)
