Omfattning: 30 hp (D-nivå) Abstract i Abstract Information visualization can be valuable in a wide range of applications, it deals with abstract, non-spatial data and with the representation of data elements in a meaningful form irrespective of the size of the data, because sometimes visualization itself focuses on the certain key aspects of the data in the representation and thus it helps by p...

DOI: 10.1057/palgrave/ivs/9500009 Welcome to Information Visualization! I am delighted to be able to introduce to you the first issue of the peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the research and practice of information visualization. The new journal will cover a variety of aspects of information visualization, ranging from fundamental research to practical applications. Information ...

A new mark-up programming language is introduced in order to facilitate and improve the visualization of ISO/EN 13606 dual model-based normalized medical information. This is the first time that visualization of normalized medical information is addressed and the programming language is intended to be used by medical non-IT professionals.

Information visualization is an important approach to analyze large mounds of data. But due to their increasing size and complexity it becomes harder to interpret the provided visual representations. In addition it becomes difficult to present the information appropriately, that is specifically important for the user. For some time, illustration, which is an application of non-photorealistic re...

Art often provides valuable hints for technological innovations especially in the field of Image Processing and Computer Graphics. In this chapter we survey in a unified framework several methods to transform raster input images into good quality mosaics. For each of the major different approaches in literature the chapter reports a short description and a discussion of the most relevant issues...

Hysterosonography (SHG) is a new noninvasive technique that involves the slow infusion of sterile saline solution into the uterus during ultrasound imaging. Expansion of endometrial cavity by SHG allows optimal visualization and plays an important role in the evaluation of abnormalities related to the uterus. The most common indications for hysterosonography are: abnormal uterine bleeding both ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical outcomes of the transcatheter microcoil embolization in patients with active lower gastrointestinal (LGI) bleeding in the small bowel, as well as to compare the mortality rates between the two groups based on the visualization or non-visualization of the bleeding focus determined by an angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated all of the ...

The tutorial presents state-of-the-art visualization techniques inspired by traditional technical and medical illustrations. Such techniques exploit the perception of the human visual system and provide effective visual abstractions to make the visualization clearly understandable. Visual emphasis and abstraction has been used for expressive presentation from prehistoric paintings to nowadays s...

Software Visualization is, despite the many publications and advances in this research field, still not being considered by mainstream software industry: currently very few integrated development environments offer (if at all) only limited visualization support, and in general it can be said that software visualization is being ignored at a professional level by the average software developer. ...

The purpose of this vision paper is to identify how data visualization could transform healthcare. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are maturing with new technology and tools being applied. Researchers are reaping the benefits of data visualization to better access compilations of EHR data for enhanced clinical research. Data visualization, while still primarily the domain of clinical researche...
