Welcome to the Scientific Visualization Wiki provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Division of Intramural Research of the National Institutes of Health.
The intention of this collaborative space is to facilitate the creation of scientific visualization through the dissemination of techniques and information.
Three main categories have been created to divide specific differences between capturing and representing imaging data. These are only rough divisions though, as many techniques overlap these rough boundaries.
- Molecular - Molecular Imaging denotes the use of molecular data captured through the use of NMR and X-Ray Crystallography.
- Cellular - Cellular and Sub-Cellular Imaging denotes the use of Electron Microscopy and Scanning Confocal Microscopy.
- Anatomical - Anatomical Imaging denotes the use of modalities such as CT and MRI to capture anatomical information.
As imaging techniques improve, these areas are beginning overlap one another. One example of this is Transmission Electron Tomography is used to capture at resolutions that would be considered high for cellular imaging, allowing the capture of molecular structures at a level that would be considered very low resolution in molecular imaging.
Projects
Individuals or organization interested in collaborating with researchers at the NICHD, or merely using the wiki as a platform to developing collaborative projects are encouraged to do so here.
HIV Animation - HIV is a pandemic affecting millions across the globe. The objective of this project s to visualize HIV for both researchers and those impacted by HIV.
Golgi Apparatus - This project is currently in development. Access has been temporarily limited while in development. Please direct questions regarding this project to Jeremy Swan
