    Transdisciplinary Visualization of Aortic Dissections
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Mistelbauer, Gabriel; Bäumler, Kathrin; Mastrodicasa, Domenico; Hahn, Lewis D.; Pepe, Antonio; Sandfort, Veit; Hinostroza, Virginia; Ostendorf, Kai; Schroeder, Aaron; Sailer, Anna M.; Willemink, Martin J.; Walters, Shannon; Preim, Bernhard; Fleischmann, Dominik; Raidou, Renata; Kuhlen, Torsten
    Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition caused by the abrupt formation of a secondary blood flow channel within the vessel wall. Patients surviving the acute phase remain at high risk for late complications, such as aneurysm formation and aortic rupture. The timing of these complications is variable, making long-term imaging surveillance crucial for aortic growth monitoring. Morphological characteristics of the aorta, its hemodynamics, and, ultimately, risk models impact treatment strategies. Providing such a wealth of information demands expertise across a broad spectrum to understand the complex interplay of these influencing factors. We present results of our longstanding transdisciplinary efforts to confront this challenge. Our team has identified four key disciplines, each requiring specific expertise overseen by radiology: lumen segmentation and landmark detection, risk predictors and inter-observer analysis, computational fluid dynamics simulations, and visualization and modeling. In each of these disciplines, visualization supports analysis and serves as communication medium between stakeholders, including patients. For each discipline, we summarize the work performed, the related work, and the results.

    Visualizing Carotid Stenoses for Stroke Treatment and Prevention
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Eulzer, Pepe; Richter, Kevin; Hundertmark, Anna; Meuschke, Monique; Wickenhöfer, Ralph; Klingner, Carsten M.; Lawonn, Kai; Raidou, Renata; Kuhlen, Torsten
    Analyzing carotid stenoses - potentially lethal constrictions of the brain-supplying arteries - is a critical task in clinical stroke treatment and prevention. Determining the ideal type of treatment and point for surgical intervention to minimize stroke risk is considerably challenging. We propose a collection of visual exploration tools to advance the assessment of carotid stenoses in clinical applications and research on stenosis formation. We developed methods to analyze the internal blood flow, anatomical context, vessel wall composition, and to automatically and reliably classify stenosis candidates. We do not presume already segmented and extracted surface meshes but integrate streamlined model extraction and pre-processing along with the result visualizations into a single framework. We connect multiple sophisticated processing stages in one user interface, including a neural prediction network for vessel segmentation and automatic global diameter computation. We enable retrospective user control over each processing stage, greatly simplifying error detection and correction. The framework was developed and evaluated in multiple iterative user studies, involving a group of eight specialists working in stroke care (radiologists and neurologists). It is publicly available, along with a database of over 100 carotid bifurcation geometries that were extracted with the framework from computed tomography data. Further, it is a vital part of multiple ongoing studies investigating stenosis pathophysiology, stroke risk, and the necessity for surgical intervention.

    Describing the myriad biological processes occurring in living beings over time, the science of physiology is complex and critical to our understanding of how life works. Physiology spans many spatio-temporal scales to combine and bridge from the basic sciences (biology, physics, and chemistry) to medicine. Recent years have seen an explosion of new and finer-grained experimental and acquisition methods to characterize these data. The volume and complexity of these data necessitate effective visualizations to complement standard analysis practice. Visualization approaches must carefully consider and be adaptable to the user’s main task, be it exploratory, analytical, or communication-oriented. This research contributes to the areas of theory, empirical findings, methods, applications, and research replicability in visualizing physiology. Our overarching theme is the cross-disciplinary application of medical illustration and visualization techniques to address challenges in exploring, analyzing, and communicating aspects of human physiology to audiences with differing expertise.
