Abstract. We describe a virtual reality application for visualizing tensorvalued volume data acquired with diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI). We have prototyped...
Real Time Tomographic Reflection (RTTR) permits in situ visualization of ultrasound images so that direct hand-eye coordination can be employed during invasive procedures. The meth...
