Volumetric data rendering has become an important tool in various medical procedures as it allows the unbiased visualization of fine details of volumetric medical data (CT, MRI, fMRI). However, due to the large amount of computation involved, the rendering time increases dramatically as the size of the data set grows. This paper presents several acceleration techniques of volume rendering using...

In this paper authors present their new proposition of system for cognitive analysis of dynamic computer tomography perfusion maps (dpCT). The novel contribution of this article is introducing an augmented reality visualization module that supports real time volume rendering (VR) of derived data. Authors also presents the results of their researches on optimization of VR algorithm memory usage ...

In this work, we investigate gaze selection in the context of mid-air hand gestural manipulation of 3D rigid bodies on monoscopic displays. We present the results of a user study with 12 participants in which we compared the performance of Gaze, a Raycasting technique (2D Cursor) and a Virtual Hand technique (3D Cursor) to select objects in two 3D mid-air interaction tasks. Also, we compared se...

This paper introduces a new technique to detect the coronary arteries as well as other heart’s peripheral vessels. After finding the location of the myocardium through a graph theoretic segmentation method, the algorithm models the heart with a biaxial ellipsoid. For each point of this ellipsoid, we compute the collection of intensities that are normal to the surface. This collection is then fi...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the two domains of the integers and the polynomials, in an attempt to understand the nature of complexity in these very basic situations. Can we formalize the integer algorithms which shed light on the polynomial domain, and vice versa? When will the casting of one in the other speed up an existing algorithm? Why do some problems not lend themselves to th...

This paper focuses on the growing trends in the processor speed of mobile devices, which has already touched 2GHz and the huge internal and external memory available in the form of Micro SD cards, with supportable communication technology like 3 Generation Mobile Telephony. The mobile devices shall be out casting the Personal Computers in the coming decade as they are becoming sophisticated gen...

All-Optical signal processing and routing avoid the optical-to-electrical and electrical-to-optical conversions and thus eliminates the bandwidth constrains set by conventional electronics technologies. It will form key building blocks for the next generation ultra-high speed and dynamic multi-casting optical networks. Polymer waveguide based photonics integrated circuits are promising in achie...

The ability of now-casting and eventuality is the most crucial and vital achievement of big data analytics in the area of policy-making. To recognize the trends and to render a real image of the current condition and alarming immediate indicators, the significance and the specific positions of big data in policy-making are undeniable. Moreover, the requirement for policy-making institutions to ...

This paper describes a general theoretical framework that combines non-Fourier (NF) spatially-encoded MRI with multichannel acquisition parallel MRI. The two spatial-encoding mechanisms are physically and analytically separable, which allows NF encoding to be expressed as complementary to the inherent encoding imposed by RF receiver coil sensitivities. Consequently, the number of NF spatial-enc...
