Visualization of High-Dimensional Medical Image Data
Part IV discusses the visualization of high-dimensional medical image data. Thus, in this part we consider time-dependent data, as well as 3D vector and tensor data.
A special variation of MRI is Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI). With this modality, the inhomogeneity of the direction of (water) diffusion can be non-invasively determined. Strongly directed diffusion occurs for example in the whiter matter of the human brain, and thus indicates the direction and location of fiber tracks. This information is highly relevant, in particular in neuroradiology and neurosurgery. The analysis and visualization of DTI data poses many challenges, which are discussed in Chapter 15. In contrast to ...
