The major task of radiation therapy is to impose a maximum dose of radiation to the tumor cells. The IMRT technology makes it possible to deliver radiation more precisely by dividing the accelerator head into smaller units called “beamlets” that can be manipulated independently. This treatment planning requires a time consuming iterative work between a physician and an IMRT technician. The state of the art current technique is to determine the IMRT treatment plan at the beginning and use it without changing it in the course of the treatment. However, the assumption of fixed ‘target volume’ throughout the IMRT treatment, is very limiting given that the tumor shrinks in response to the radiation therapy. In this research, we apply time-varying volume rendering technique to the IMRT treatment and develop a proof-of-concept prototype system that enables capturing and relating the time dependent changes of the irradiated volume throughout the course of treatment. This prototype system will enable the researchers to explore different what-if scenarios, such as determining the ‘Target Treatment Volume’ depending on the delivered dose of radiation.","PeriodicalId":91181,"journal":{"name":"Visualization : proceedings of the ...

Its aim is to graphically represent field data on two and three-dimensional domains and on surfaces in an intuitively understandable way. Here, a new approach based on anisotropic nonlinear diffusion is introduced. It enables an easy perception of vector field data and serves as an appropriate scale space method for the visualization of complicated flow pattern. The approach is closely related to nonlinear diffusion methods in image analysis where images are smoothed while still retaining and enhancing edges. Here, an initial noisy image intensity is smoothed along integral lines, whereas the image is sharpened in the orthogonal direction. The method is based on a continuous model and requires the solution of a parabolic PDE problem. It is discretized only in the final implementational step. Therefore, many important qualitative aspects can already be discussed on a continuous level. Applications are shown for flow fields in 2D and 3D, as well as for principal directions of curvature on general triangulated surfaces. Furthermore, the provisions for flow segmentation are outlined. Index TermsÐFlow visualization, multiscale, nonlinear diffusion, segmentation. æ 1 INTRODUCTION THE visualization of field data, especially of velocity fields from CFD computations, is one of the fundamental tasks in scientific visualization. A variety of different approaches has been presented. The simplest method of drawing vector plots at nodes of some overlaid regular grid in general produces visual clutter because of the typically different local scaling of the field in the spatial domain, which leads to disturbing multiple overlaps in certain regions, whereas, in other areas, small structures such as eddies cannot be resolved adequately. This gets even worse if tangential fields on highly curved surfaces are considered. The central goal is to come up with intuitively better receptible methods which give an overall, as well as a detailed, view on the flow patterns. Single particle lines only partially enlighten features of a complex flow field. Thus, we want to define a texture which represents the field globally on a 2D or 3D domain and on surfaces, respectively. Here, we confine ourselves to stationary fields. In the Euclidean case, we suppose v : ! IR for some domain IR, whereas, in the case of a manifoldM embedded in IR, we consider a tangential vector field v. We ask for a method generating stretched streamline type patterns which are aligned to the vector field v\u0085x. Furthermore, the possibility of successively coarsening this pattern is obviously a desirable property. Methods which are based on such a scale of spaces and enhance certain structures of images are well-known in image processing analysis. Actually, nonlinear diffusion allows the smoothing of gray or color images while retaining and enhancing edges [18]. Now, we set up a diffusion problem, with strong smoothing along in","PeriodicalId":91181,"journal":{"name":"Visualization : proceedings of the ... IEEE Conference on Visualization.

We present a meshing framework that builds a multi resolution hierarchy for large tetrahedral meshes and enables to render these meshes interactively using a direct volume renderer based on projected tetrahedra as wall as a new point-based renderer. A preprocessing step simplifies the mesh into a binary vertex hierarchy which is used at run time to adapt the mesh to viewing parameters. A new way of how to split a vertex is presented that exploits the connectivity information of the current mesh as well as the vertex hierarchy.","PeriodicalId":91181,"journal":{"name":"Visualization : proceedings of the ...
