2.5. Visualization
To visually validate the results of the overlap statistics, 2D and 3D visualizations of the inputted contours and metabolite maps are generated. 2D visualization involves overlaying the contour on top of the corresponding T1 and metabolite map, and 3D visualization renders the two contours on the same plane so that differences in the contours can be identified. Additionally, the difference between normalized maps can be visualized, and are saved as 3D NumPy arrays. An example of 2D and 3D visualization, including a difference map, is shown in
