Migraine Aura: Retracting Particle-Like Waves in Weakly Susceptible Cortex

Nouchine Hadjikhani

Cortical spreading depression (SD) has been suggested to underlie migraine aura. Despite a precise match in speed, the spatio-temporal patterns of SD observed in animal cortex and aura symptoms mapped to the cortical surface ordinarily differ in aspects of ...

Surface extraction and flattening for anatomical visualization

Laurent Saroul

In the last years, three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging techniques have taken an increasing importance in patient care and medical research. Volume images provide medical specialists with a direct access to the interior of a patient's body and reduce the ...

MuscleBuilder: a modeling tool for human anatomy

Daniel Thalmann, Amaury Aubel

A traditional multi-layered approach is adopted to human body modeling and deformation. The model is split into three general anatomical structures: the skeleton, musculature and skin. It is shown that each of these layers is modeled and deformed by using ...

Interneuron Diversity series: Molecular and genetic tools to study GABAergic interneuron diversity and function

Henry Markram

Structural and functional diversity of GABAergic interneurons has become increasingly central in our understanding of the elemental steps of information processing in the brain. The use of different molecular, electrophysiological and anatomical techniques ...

Exploring Curved Anatomic Structures with Surface Sections

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach, Laurent Saroul

The extraction of planar sections from volume images is the most commonly used technique for inspecting and visualizing anatomic structures. We propose to generalize the concept of planar section to the extraction of curved cross-sections (free form surfac ...

Interactive specification and extraction of free form surfaces from the visible human

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach, Laurent Saroul

We present new interaction and visualization paradigms relying on free form surfaces for studying and exploring human anatomy. We propose an interface for building three-dimensional anatomical scenes incorporating 3D anatomical organ models, freely orienta ...

Optical coherence tomography - principles and applications

Theo Lasser

There have been three basic approaches to optical tomography since the early 1980s: diffraction tomography, diffuse optical tomography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Optical techniques are of particular importance in the medical field, because the ...

Colored visualization of shape differences between bones

Daniel Thalmann, Sofiane Sarni, Ik Soo Lim

This article addresses visualization of deformation or shape differences between bones while conventional visualization techniques are often about a single bone such as its 3D reconstruction. Given a pair of bones with a set of corresponding anatomical lan ...

Two approaches for applet-based visible human slice extraction

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach

Real-time interactive slicing is a tool of choice for exploring 3D anatomic data sets such as the Visible Human. We offer real-time slicing on the Web by partitioning the application between a Java applet (the client) and the Web server. Two approaches for ...
