Diffusion tensor visualization using random field correlation and volume rendering
نویسندگان
چکیده
The visualization of diffusion tensor fields remains a challenging topic. A representation based on volume rendering of a scalar field is presented. The method uses the tensor to correlate a noise field in the direction of greater diffusivity while preserving the high frequency components of the noise field in transversal diffusion directions.

Tensor splats
A new general-purpose technique for the visualization of time-dependent symmetric positive definite tensor fields of rank two is described. It is based on a splatting technique that is built from tiny transparent glyph primitives which are capable of incorporating the full orientational information content of a tensor. The result is an information-rich image that allows to read off the preferre...
متن کاملStrategies for Direct Volume Rendering of Diffusion Tensor Fields
ÐDiffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a relatively new modality capable of elucidating the fibrous structure of certain types of tissue, such as the white matter within the brain. One tool for interpreting this data is volume rendering because it permits the visualization of three dimensional structure without a prior segmentation process. In order to use volume rendering, however, ...
متن کاملEnhanced Visualization of Diffusion Tensor Data for Neurosurgery
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a recent magnetic resonance (MR) technique that provides comprehensive information about water diffusivity. Since diffusivity correlates with tissue structure at the microscopic level DTI reveals fibrous structures such as white matter (WM) pathways in the field of neurosurgery. WM tracts are thereby of major interest and the ability to distinguish between diff...
متن کاملVisualization and Analysis of Diffusion Tensor Fields
The power of medical imaging modalities to measure and characterize biological tissue is amplified by visualization and analysis methods that help researchers to see and understand the structures within their data. Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging can measure microstructural properties of biological tissue, such as the coherent linear organization of white matter of the central nervo...
متن کاملA Visual Approach to Analysis of Stress Tensor Fields
We present a visual approach for the exploration of stress tensor fields. Therefore, we introduce the idea of multiple linked views to tensor visualization. In contrast to common tensor visualization methods that only provide a single view to the tensor field, we pursue the idea of providing various perspectives onto the data in attribute and object space. Especially in the context of stress te...
