A few neuroinformatics databases now exist that record results from neuroimaging studies in the form of brain coordinates in stereotaxic space. The Brede Toolbox was originally developed to extract, analyze and visualize data from one of them - the BrainMap database. Since then the Brede Toolbox has expanded and now includes its own database with coordinates along with ontologies for brain regi...

Our research in institute is oriented on high performance computing like GRID and Cloud computing. A lot of international projects oriented on main research or in energy execution and in natural disasters damages execution utilize the HPC (High Performance Computing) as is grid or cloud computing. Within such solution raises requirement of visualization service for presentation of the intermedi...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate information visualization of publicly-reported central line-associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) outcome data for decision making by diverse target audiences - health care consumers and practitioners. We describe the challenges in publicly reporting of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) data and the interpretation of an evaluation metric. Sev...

A new Digital Terrestrial Television service based on transmission and visualization of 3D images is presented. This service has been designed to be suitable for domestic users without relevant increase of the final cost for the spectator, being the production of the programs what is modified to generate adequate 3D TV signals. The systems that make possible the implementation of the service ha...

Attempting to display the entirety of a large volumetric dataset at one time would result in an overwhelming amount of information. Furthermore, visualization tools based on volume rendering present the user with a host of confusing options. We present ClearView, which provides a simplified volume visualization tool with a focus on doing what matters most: looking at your data. Users frequently...

Background Cholestatic jaundice in infancy is always pathologic and mainly caused by biliary atresia (BA), and neonatal hepatitis (NH). The early discrimination of both conditions is critical for the outcome of BA. We aimed to assess different non-invasive diagnostic tools in differentiating BA from NH. Materials and Methods Forty infants (25 boys, 15 girls) with cholestatic jaundice and final...
