Recent advances in optical-sectioning microscopy, along with novel fluorescent proteins and probes, give us the tools to image molecules and their interactions in space and time. Investigators using these tools routinely collect multichannel three-dimensional (3D) images and time series, but analyzing such complex datasets requires sophisticated visualization techniques. We here provide an over...

IMPORTANCE This is the first description of 3-dimensional (3D) pediatric airway endoscopy in the otolaryngology literature detailing the superior visualization with this technology. Ultimately, enhanced optics may further improve the treatment of airway pathology. OBJECTIVE To report the first case series examining the use of 3D direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (DLB) in the diagnosis and ...

We present “Met.3D”, a new open-source tool for the interactive three-dimensional (3-D) visualization of numerical ensemble weather predictions. The tool has been developed to support weather forecasting during aircraft-based atmospheric field campaigns; however, it is applicable to further forecasting, research and teaching activities. Our work approaches challenging topics related to the visu...

AstroMD is a visualization software offering several capabilities specifically oriented to the cosmological analysis of three-dimensional structures. It was developed within the framework of the Cosmo.Lab project, financially supported by the European Community, which involves several European Astrophysical Institutions and the CINECA. This tool gives a 3D graphic representation of data, exploi...

For visualizing anatomical data sets, 3D techniques like direct volume rendering and surface rendering are well established For joint visualization of 3D data sets describing different properties of the object (like anatomical and functional information), 2D visualization techniques are dominant Hybrid methods play an emerging role Visualizing 2D slices is the most common approach, but: 2D info...

A novel approach to three-dimensional (3D) visualization of high quality, respiratory compensated cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) data is presented with the purpose of assisting the cardiovascular surgeon and the invasive cardiologist in the pre-operative planning. Developments included: (1) optimization of 3D, MR scan protocols; (2) dedicated segmentation software; (3) optimization of model ge...

This paper presents a strategy for automatically mapping information onto visual parameters in the field of three-dimensional (3D) information visualization. The work presented here is done in the context of researching how 3D information visualization may help when trying to visualize large volumes of dynamic data. The application field within which this work has been conducted is using 3D inf...

We present a novel framework for analysis and visualization of fish schools in 3D sonar surveys. The 3D sonar technology is new and there are no applications to visualize the data in 3D. We have created an application called Sonar Explorer that satisfies the requirements of domain scientists. Sonar Explorer provides easy and intuitive semi-automatic fish school tracking and survey map generatio...

We present a large-scale simulation tool for real-time 3D reconstruction of brain activity in a virtual reality environment. The 3D interactive visualization of the human cortex connectome in virtual reality is achieved by using a gaming engine (Unity 3D). Further, the visualization is bi-directionally interfaced with a real-time neuronal simulator, iqr. As a result, by stimulating populations ...

Introduction: Cardiac procedures, such as atrial fibrillation (AF) therapy, are limited by a lack of guidance visualization. This leads to difficulty in performing the treatment with accuracy and efficiency, which results in lengthy procedure times in excess of 3 hrs. Currently, visualization tools used in AF include 3D modeling of the patient's heart prior to the therapy or real-time 2D fluoro...
