Abstract:Combining elements of biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine, the science of human physiology is complex and multifaceted. In this report, we offer a broad and multiscale perspective on key developments and challenges in visualization for physiology. Our literature search process combined standard methods with a state-of-the-art visual analysis search tool to identify surveys and representative individual approaches for physiology. Our resulting taxonomy sorts literature on two levels. The first level categ… Show more
“…From several aspects, biomedical visualization research has been thoroughly mapped out. In terms of application areas, Garrison et al (2022) provide a comprehensive overview. In terms of articulating the scientific discipline as such, Raidou et al (2020) describe many key aspects.…”
In this perspective article we discuss a certain type of research on visualization for bioinformatics data, namely, methods targeting clinical use. We argue that in this subarea additional complex challenges come into play, particularly so in genomics. We here describe four such challenge areas, elicited from a domain characterization effort in clinical genomics. We also list opportunities for visualization research to address clinical challenges in genomics that were uncovered in the case study. The findings are shown to have parallels with experiences from the diagnostic imaging domain.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
