Diabetes Interactive Atlas

چکیده
The Diabetes Interactive Atlas is a recently released Web-based collection of maps that allows users to view geographic patterns and examine trends in diabetes and its risk factors over time across the United States and within states. The atlas provides maps, tables, graphs, and motion charts that depict national, state, and county data. Large amounts of data can be viewed in various ways simultaneously. In this article, we describe the design and technical issues for developing the atlas and provide an overview of the atlas' maps and graphs. The Diabetes Interactive Atlas improves visualization of geographic patterns, highlights observation of trends, and demonstrates the concomitant geographic and temporal growth of diabetes and obesity.

The Cerefy Neuroradiology Atlas: a Talairach-Tournoux atlas-based tool for analysis of neuroimages available over the internet.
The article introduces an atlas-assisted method and a tool called the Cerefy Neuroradiology Atlas (CNA), available over the Internet for neuroradiology and human brain mapping. The CNA contains an enhanced, extended, and fully segmented and labeled electronic version of the Talairach-Tournoux brain atlas, including parcelated gyri and Brodmann's areas. To our best knowledge, this is the first o...

The paper is a presentation of the current state of development for the Atlas of Physiology and Pathophysiology (Atlas). Our main aim is to provide a novel interactive multimedia application that can be used for biomedical education where (a) simulations are combined with tutorials and (b) the presentation layer is simplified while the underlying complexity of the model is retained. The develop...
متن کاملFrom Flatland to Spaceland - Concepts for Interactive 3D Navigation in High Standard Atlases
Moving from flatland to spaceland”, this phrase aims at a development in atlas cartography, which represents a move from 2D maps to 3D representations. Navigation thus becomes a central feature of interaction. The concept of ‘3D thinking’ in interactive atlas navigation results in user-friendly solutions, which allows for a smooth shift between 2D and 3D maps and for easy 3D navigation with no ...
متن کاملDial: Distributed Interactive Analysis of Large Datasets
DIAL will enable users to analyze very large, event-based datasets using an application that is natural to the data format. Both the dataset and the processing may be distributed over a farm, a site (collection of farms) or a grid (collection of sites). Here we describe the goals of the project, the current design and implementation, and plans for future development. DIAL is being developed wit...
متن کاملThe Visible Man: 3D Interactive Musculoskeletal Anatomic Atlas of the Lower Extremity
To build a personal computer based interactive musculoskeletal anatomic atlas using Visible Man data set, we developed a semi-automated segmentation program by using an intelligent scissors approach and a shape-based interpolation. Manual contour extractions at 3mm slice intervals and shape-based interpolations of inter-slices of the musculoskeletal structures of the lower extremity were carrie...
