“…Processing such different data modalities in a single algorithm is called “multivariate data processing.” ClinicIMPPACT will therefore improve the field of multivariate data processing with real-time measures to visualize combined (structured) clinical CT data, (unstructured) simulation data and surface based segmentation data in a single first step. This can be achieved by dedicated methods, using a modern graphics processing unit (GPU) [9] , [31] , [32] .…”

IntroductionRadio-frequency ablation (RFA) is a promising minimal-invasive treatment option for early liver cancer, however monitoring or predicting the size of the resulting tissue necrosis during the RFA-procedure is a challenging task, potentially resulting in a significant rate of under- or over treatments. Currently there is no reliable lesion size prediction method commercially available.ObjectivesClinicIMPPACT is designed as multicenter-, prospective-, non-randomized clinical trial to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of innovative planning and simulation software. 60 patients with early liver cancer will be included at four European clinical institutions and treated with the same RFA system. The preinterventional imaging datasets will be used for computational planning of the RFA treatment. All ablations will be simulated simultaneously to the actual RFA procedure, using the software environment developed in this project. The primary outcome measure is the comparison of the simulated ablation zones with the true lesions shown in follow-up imaging after one month, to assess accuracy of the lesion prediction.DiscussionThis unique multicenter clinical trial aims at the clinical integration of a dedicated software solution to accurately predict lesion size and shape after radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors. Accelerated and optimized workflow integration, and real-time intraoperative image processing, as well as inclusion of patient specific information, e.g. organ perfusion and registration of the real RFA needle position might make the introduced software a powerful tool for interventional radiologists to optimize patient outcomes.

“…They contain a map of keywords that represent specific functionalities described by a function template. and adding specific integration rules to the function definitions, these approaches are mostly limited to specific application domains [208] [265]. The effect adds the keywords that refer to the specific functionality into the shader library.…”

However, Nico Hempe's work, documented in this thesis achieves nothing less than a functional and proven software structure to cope with the request for realism in the ever increasing complexity of today's robotic and mechatronic applications. Over the decades, modeling for computer simulation and visualization has progressed from an early reliance on purely geometric models to extremely powerful simulation models which also incorporate the underlying physical principles. Nico's is to date one of the most important PhD dissertations which manage to bridge the gap between advanced simulation and comprehensive rendering techniques by combining the best of both worlds to impressive virtual reality applications. His virtual worlds, which do not only look good but serve as the basis for virtual testbeds, are key components in new development approaches in the context of eRobotics and "Industry 4.0". Starting in 2010, Nico's work helped to establish the research field of eRobotics in order to cope with the inherent complexity, facilitate the development and significantly cut down the cost of advanced robotics and mechatronics applications. The objective is to effectively use electronic media -hence the "e" at the beginning of the term -to achieve the best possible advancements in the development of the robots' respective fields of use. Current domains of eRobotics covered by Nico's work comprise industrial robotics, work machines, construction site automation, space robotics and even the fields of environmental and city modelling. This thesis reveals the technical details behind a spectacular accomplishment in com...

“…Systems such as Voreen [MSRMH09] and that of Rieder et al . [RPLH11] present a rapid prototyping approach for volume rendering where modular shader blocks can be combined to create a complete pipeline. The system relies on establishing a signature for the blocks that allows combination and communication to take place.…”

We present a visualization tool aimed specifically at the development and optimization of photon map denoising methods. Our tool allows the rapid testing of hypotheses and algorithms through the use of parallel coordinates, domain‐specific scripting, colour mapping and point plots. Interaction is carried out by brushing, adjusting parameters and focus‐plus‐context and yields interactive visual feedback and debugging information. We demonstrate the use of the tool to explore high‐dimensional photon map data, facilitating the discovery of novel parameter spaces which can be used to dissociate complex caustic illumination. We then show how these new parametrizations may be used to improve upon pre‐existing noise removal methods in the context of the photon relaxation framework.
