3D Regression Heat Map Analysis of Population Study Data
A visual overview of epidemiological data that allows for the first time an interactive regression-based analysis of large feature sets with respect to a disease and new hypotheses about relations between breast density and breast lesions with breast cancer are derived.
Visualization of Human Spine Biomechanics for Spinal Surgery
A visualization application that facilitates methods such as multiple coordinated views, abstraction and focus and context to display simulation outcomes in a dedicated tool, and introduces new concepts to show the directions of impact force vectors, which were not accessible before.
Data Visualizations for Helping Users Understand Statistical Models
This thesis uses tweaking model parameters and navigating plots to investigate the research question: how can data visualizations help users understand statistical models, and explores the following four aspects to answer this question.
Local Prediction Models for Spatiotemporal Volume Visualization
The State of the Art in Integrating Machine Learning into Visual Analytics
This state‐of‐the‐art report presents a summary of the progress that has been made by highlighting and synthesizing select research advances and presents opportunities and challenges to enhance the synergy between machine learning and visual analytics for impactful future research directions.

Visualization and Analysis of Lumbar Spine Canal Variability in Cohort Study Data
An approach for the reproducible analysis of lumbar spine canal variability in a cohort is proposed based on the centerline of each individual canal, derived from a semi-automatic, model-based detection of thelumbar spinal canal.
Interactive Visual Analysis of Image-Centric Cohort Study Data
An Interactive Visual Analysis approach that enables epidemiologists to rapidly investigate the entire data pool for hypothesis validation and generation is proposed and demonstrated by validating and generating hypotheses related to lower back pain as a qualitative evaluation.
Visual Analytics of Image-Centric Cohort Studies in Epidemiology
C Cohort studies are population-based studies involving usually large numbers of randomly selected individuals and comprising numerous attributes, ranging from self-reported interview data to results from various medical examinations, e.g., blood and urine samples are discussed.
The Epidemiology of low back pain.
Potentially relevant incidental findings are very common in wb-MRI research but the nature of these findings remains unclear in most cases and requires dedicated management to protect subjects’ welfare and research integrity.
Hypothesis Generation by Interactive Visual Exploration of Heterogeneous Medical Data
Here, the details of an analysis of data recorded in a comprehensive study of cognitive aging are reported on and a number of lessons learned related to the usefulness of interactive methods in generating hypotheses are discussed.
Interactive Visual Patient Cohort Analysis
An integrated system that combines visual exploration and data analytics with an intuitive user interface that lets clinicians interactively visualize and refine cohorts, request analytics on those cohorts, and make new discoveries is designed.
Can we distinguish between benign and malignant breast tumors in DCE-MRI by studying a tumor's most suspect region only?
It is shown that the features of the most suspect region alone cannot distinguish between benign and malignant tumors, yet the properties of this region are indicative of tumor malignancy for the dataset the authors studied.
The aging of the population: a growing concern for spine care in the twenty-first century
The aging of the population in industrialized countries appears to be a non-reversible phenomenon and the nature of the spine renders those problems highly complex to investigate and to treat, which results in a highly differential distribution of healthcare-related costs heavily skewed towards the elderly population.
