BioMedical Visualization
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-66788-6 (ISBN)
This book provides an overview of the many visualization strategies that have been proposed in recent decades for solving problems within the disciplines of medicine and biology. It also evaluates which visualization techniques applied to various areas of biomedicine have been the most impactful and which challenges can be considered solved using visualization. The topics covered in this book include visualization research in omics, interaction networks and pathways, biological structures, tumor diagnosis and treatment, vasculature, brain, surgery, educational contexts, therapy and rehabilitation, electronic health records, and public health. One chapter is dedicated to general visualization techniques commonly used for biomedical data, such as surface and volume rendering, as well as abstract and illustrative approaches. For each of these areas, the past and present research trends are discussed, highlighting the influential works. Furthermore, the book explains how research is affected by developments in technology, data availability, and domain practice. Individual sections also summarize the typical target users, the nature of the data, and the typical tasks addressed in the given domain.
With a uniquely broad scope, the book identifies research trends in biomedical visualization using a manually curated and searchable repository of more than 3,800 publications. The resultant trends are further categorized according to the application field and using natural language processing. The book also utilizes 16 interviews conducted with researchers in the field of biomedical visualization for the purpose of soliciting their opinions regarding the evolution and trends in the domain.
The book handles these topics in a concise manner to help readers orient themselves in the already mature and diverse field of biomedical visualization without overwhelming them with technical details. As such, the book can help young researchers to become familiar with past challenges and identify future ones. For more senior researchers, it can serve as an insightful overview of the research field and the direction in which it is heading.
Katarína Furmanová is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Informatics at the Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic.

Barbora Kozlíková is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Informatics at the Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic, where she also got her Ph.D. degree. She is the head of the Visitlab research laboratory, specializing in the design of visualization techniques and visual analysis methods and systems for diverse application fields, including biochemistry, criminology, education, and geography. She is also very interested in the education of future generations in BioMedical visualization and building a curriculum for this domain. She was involved in the organization of an event related to this initiative, the Bio+Med+Vis Spring School in 2021. She also acted as the general chair of EG EuroVis 2018 and EG VCBM 2019. She co-organized the NII Shonan Meeting in 2020, dedicated to the formalization of BioMedical visualizations, and the Dagstuhl seminar in 2023, focused on shaping the future of biomedical data visualization. She is a member of the EG VCBM and EG EuroVis steering committees.
Thomas Höllt is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Graphics and Visualization Group (CGV) at Delft University of Technology. Before that, he was Assistant Professor in the Leiden Computational Biology Center (LCBC) at the Leiden University Medical Center. He has been awarded the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine in 2019 and the third prize in 2021 for his work on visual analytics approaches in (spatial) single-cellanalysis. In 2023, he was awarded the VRVis Visual Computing award for sustainable development for his work on Cytosplore. His research interests include visualization and visual analytics for high-dimensional data, with a focus on biomedical applications, in particular, applications using -omics data.
