Abstract

A system is presented that produces images that simulate pictorial representations for both scientific and biomedical visualization. It combines traditional and novel volume illustration techniques. We present examples to distill representational techniques for both creative exploration and emphatic presentation for clarity. More specifically, we present adaptations of these techniques for interactive simulation sessions being developed in a concurrent project for resident training in temporal bone dissection simulation. The goal of this effort is to evaluate the use of emphatic rendering to guide the user in an interactive session and to facilitate the learning of complex biomedical information, including structural, functional, and procedural information.
