Abstract

Different perspectives on scientific visualization exist. How it is being defined, the human factors constraining its progress, perspectives of those involved in the activity, and the scientific research it facilitates are but a few of the questions to which there seems to be as many different answers as the number of individuals being asked. To clarify some of the issues, as they relate to the biomedical sciences, an examnation of the makeup of some of the more successful groups involved in the activity is undertaken, and examples of some of the imagery are provided. Both geometry-based computer graphics and numerically-based imaging techniques are discussed.
