Abstract

We argue that a more systematic treatment of the many existing options for medical volume visualisation is desirable. We show that combining the most common medical visualisation and navigation techniques in a systematic way leads to a meaningful set of interesting and sometimes novel UI techniques. We also propose a technique for using generated data and tasks suited to non-medical users for conducting user experiments. We evaluate the UI techniques qualitatively to arrive at a set of promising techniques for future research.
