Visual Analytics in Cancer Treatment
Abstract: My talk will focus on recently proposed solutions from the field of
Visual Analytics for cancer treatment. One of the most common cancer treatment
options is radiation therapy, which involves careful treatment planning through
several complex processes and the incorporation of a multitude of patient data.
As radiotherapy research tries to design more effective treatment strategies, it
becomes essential for researchers to understand and to integrate all available
patient- and tumor-related knowledge into the current workflow. My work focuses
on increasing the – up to now, limited – insight and exploratory capabilities of
radiotherapy researchers. In this talk, I will discuss comprehensive and
comprehensible visualizations that contribute towards the interactive
exploration, visual analysis and understanding of radiation therapy data and
processes, creating a fertile ground for future research in radiotherapy
treatment planning
