Interventional radiology core skills simulation : mid term status of the CRaIVE projects (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Gould, D., Vidal, F., Hughes, C., Villard, P., Luboz, V., John, N., …Kessel, D. (2008, September). Interventional radiology core skills simulation : mid term status of the CRaIVE projects. Poster presented at CIRSE 2008, Copenhagen, Denmark

There is a shortage of radiologists trained in performance of Interventional radiology (IR) procedures. Visceral and vascular IR techniques almost universally commence with a needle puncture, usually to a specific target for biopsy, or to introduce w...

Physics-based virtual environment for training core skills in vascular interventional radiological procedures (2008)
Journal Article
John, N., Luboz, V., Bello, F., Hughes, C., Vidal, F., Lim, I., …Gould, D. (2008). Physics-based virtual environment for training core skills in vascular interventional radiological procedures

Recent years have seen a significant increase in the use of Interventional Radiology (IR) as an alternative to open surgery. A large number of IR procedures commence with needle puncture of a vessel to insert guidewires and catheters: these clinical...

Improving the modeling of medical imaging data for simulation (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Villard, P., Littler, P., Gough, V., Vidal, F., Hughes, C., John, N., …Gould, D. (2008, January). Improving the modeling of medical imaging data for simulation. Presented at United Kingdom Radiology Congress (UKRC), Birmingham, UK

PURPOSE-MATERIALS: To use patient imaging as the basis for developing virtual environments (VE). BACKGROUND: Interventional radiology basic skills are still taught in an apprenticeship in patients, though these could be learnt in high fidelity sim...

Adaptive infrastructure for visual computing (2007)
Journal Article
Brodlie, K., Brooke, J., Chen, M., Chisnall, D., Hughes, C., John, N., …Wood, J. (2007). Adaptive infrastructure for visual computing. https://doi.org/10.2312/LocalChapterEvents/TPCG/TPCG07/147-156

Recent hardware and software advances have demonstrated that it is now practicable to run large visual computing tasks over heterogeneous hardware with output on multiple types of display devices. As the complexity of the enabling infrastructure in... Read More about Adaptive infrastructure for visual computing.

A framework for adaptive visualization (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Brodlie, K., Brooke, J., Chen, M., Chisnall, D., Hughes, C., John, N., …Wood, J. (2006, October). A framework for adaptive visualization. Presented at IEEE Visualization, Baltimore, MD, USA

Although desktop graphical capabilities continually improve, visualization at interactive frame rates remains a problem for very large datasets or complex rendering algorithms. This is particularly evident in scientific visualization, (e.g., medical... Read More about A framework for adaptive visualization.

A flexible infrastructure for delivering augmented reality enabled transcranial magnetic stimulation (2006)
Journal Article
Hughes, C., & John, N. (2006). A flexible infrastructure for delivering augmented reality enabled transcranial magnetic stimulation

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is the process in which electrical activity in the brain is influenced by a pulsed magnetic field. Common practice is to align an electromagnetic coil with points of interest identified on the surface of the br...

If we were to have a Grid infrastructure for visualization, what technologies would be needed to build such an infrastructure, what kind of applications would benefit from it, and what challenges are we facing in order to accomplish this goal? In thi... Read More about Visual supercomputing : technologies, applications and challenges.

Voice interaction for accessible immersive video players
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, C., & Paton, J. Voice interaction for accessible immersive video players. Poster presented at HUCAPP 2021 : 5th International Conference on Human Computer Interaction Theory and Applications, Online

Immersive environments present new challenges for all users, especially those with accessibility requirements. Once a user is fully immersed in an experience, they no longer have access to the devices that they would have in the real world such as...
