Figure 2: Glyph-based visualization of the the raw data tensors. RGB colors correspond to XYZ components of the largest eigenvector. Boxes are oriented according to eigenvectors and scaled by eigenvalues. For example, red boxes are oriented along the red (X) axis. Blue boxes correspond to the vertical muscle fibers in the inside the ventricle. From left to right: axial slice of the data; magnified region from the left image; the same region with enhanced scaling for the glyph boxes emphasizing principal direction. Note the transition from the red boxes along the X axis to the green boxes, parallel to Y axis. This transition follows the direction of the heart muscle fibers. |
Figure 3: Glyph based visualization of diffusion tensor shown on the background of anisotropy measure: left - the entire dataset; right image - zoomed in view. Notice the vertical (blue) component of the boxes and the ``flatter'' orientation of the red boxes. |
