Area-Preserving Mappings for the Visualization of Medical Structures

چکیده
In this note, we present a method for flattening anatomical surfaces such as branched vessels and intestinal tracts in an areapreserving way. This method is based on the theory of optimal mass transport and conformal mapping of surfaces. The flattened representations differ minimally from conformality in a certain precise sense. Potential applications include the detection and visualization of pathologies such as stenoses and polyps.

LMap: Shape-Preserving Local Mappings for Biomedical Visualization
Visualization of medical organs and biological structures is a challenging task because of their complex geometry and the resultant occlusions. Global spherical and planar mapping techniques simplify the complex geometry and resolve the occlusions to aid in visualization. However, while resolving the occlusions these techniques do not preserve the geometric context, making them less suitable fo...
متن کاملConformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
متن کاملCommon fixed point results for graph preserving mappings in parametric $N_b$-metric spaces
In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of points of coincidence and common fixed points for a pair of graph preserving mappings in parametric $N_b$-metric spaces. As some consequences of this study, we obtain several important results in parametric $b$-metric spaces, parametric $S$-metric spaces and parametric $A$-metric spaces. Finally, we provide some illustrative examples to ...
متن کاملOrthogonality preserving mappings on inner product C* -modules
Suppose that A is a C^*-algebra. We consider the class of A-linear mappins between two inner product A-modules such that for each two orthogonal vectors in the domain space their values are orthogonal in the target space. In this paper, we intend to determine A-linear mappings that preserve orthogonality. For this purpose, suppose that E and F are two inner product A-modules and A+ is the set o...
متن کاملClassifying Medical Projection Techniques based on Parameterization Attribute Preservation
In many areas of medicine, visualization researchers can help by contributing to task simplification, abstraction or complexity reduction. As these approaches, can allow a better workflow in medical environments by exploiting easier communication through visualization, it is important to question their reliability and their reproducibility. Therefore, within this short paper, we investigate how...
