OBJECTIVE This study investigates the use of visualization techniques reported between 1996 and 2013 and evaluates innovative approaches to information visualization of electronic health record (EHR) data for knowledge discovery. METHODS An electronic literature search was conducted May-July 2013 using MEDLINE and Web of Knowledge, supplemented by citation searching, gray literature searching...

conclusions the tmd, with a cut-off point of 65 mm, had superior diagnostic value compared with the hmdr and mallampati score. therefore, the tmd could be used in malay patients to predict the difficulty of larynx visualization during laryngoscopy. results difficulty in visualizing the larynx was found in 28 (10.1%) patients. the auc, sensitivity, and specificity for the three airway predictors...

Template synthesis is a powerful method for the preparation of nanoscale materials with specific size and shape. Cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were synthesized by using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Cd(OAc)2.2H2O and sodium hydroxide as starting materials. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern prove...

Selecting an appropriate method of clustering for network data a priori can be a frustrating and confusing process. To address the problem we build on an a posteriori approach developed by Grimmer and King (2011) that compares hundreds of possible clustering methods at once through concise and intuitive visualization. We adapt this general method to the context of social networks, extend it wit...

Several studies (e.g. Kerr, 1987; 1993; Diwadkar, Carpenter & Just, 2000) have asked participants to report the final location of a point after imaginary moves through 2D and 3D arrays. The results suggest that visualizing 3D space is inherently more difficult than 2D visualization, and may even use different brain mechanisms. However, 2D and 3D trials were presented in separate blocks, so part...

The analysis of relationships between key performance indicators is one of the challenging tasks in modern business applications. On the one hand, a complex network of key performance indicators, based on sensor data and calculations, is obviously available in technical systems, but on the other hand, the final human decision is based on the information provided by visualization types like dash...

This article presents a feasibility and evaluation study for using 2D ultrasound in conjunction with our statistical deformable bone model within the scope of computer-assisted surgery. The final aim is to provide the surgeon with enhanced 3D visualization for surgical navigation in orthopedic surgery without the need for preoperative CT or MRI scans. We unified our earlier work to combine seve...

UNLABELLED ArrayCyGHt is a web-based application tool for analysis and visualization of microarray-comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) data. Full process of array-CGH data analysis, from normalization of raw data to the final visualization of copy number gain or loss, can be straightforwardly achieved on this arrayCyGHt system without the use of any further software. ArrayCyGHt, there...

We propose a new method for the visualization of spectral images. It involves a perception-based spectrum segmentation using an adaptable thresholding of the stretched CIE standard observer colormatching functions. This allows for an underlying removal of irrelevant channels, and, consequently, an alleviation of the computational burden of further processings. Principal Components Analysis is t...
