| Abstract | The number of medical imaging modalities and bio-signal acquisition methods has increased dramatically in the last years. Each is designed to answer a certain set of questions or to explore certain features of living tissue. With visualization, it is possible to combine these different types of images and data to grasp their meaning in the context of each other. Unfortunately, many existing visualization tools are focused on certain modalities and signals. With OpenWalnut, we provide a tool which is designed to be used with different signals and modalities in combination with each other. It aims at providing interactive rendering and explorability with a clean data-flow-based interface. The project is open-source and well documented and has yet been extended and used by many groups and researchers. In this short-paper, we provide a coarse overview of the principles and focus-points of OpenWalnut. |
