Web-based interactive visualization in a Grid-enabled neuroimaging application using HTML5.

Interactive visualization and correction of intermediate results are required in many medical image analysis pipelines. To allow certain interaction in the remote execution of compute- and data-intensive applications, new features of HTML5 are used. They allow for transparent integration of user interaction into Grid- or Cloud-enabled scientific workflows.

Grid based evaluation of a liver segmentation method for contrast enhanced abdominal MRI.

Recent developments in MRI contrast agents give new perspectives in radiological diagnosis and therapy planning, but require specific image analysis methods. By employment of an academic research grid, we are currently validating and optimizing a recently developed fully automatic method for liver segmentation in Gd-EOB enhanced MRI. The grid enables extensive parameter scans and evaluation against expert's reference segmentation.
