A visualization method and system for virtual endoscopic examination of CT colonographic data by use of shape-scale analysis. The method provides each colonic structure of interest with a unique color, thereby facilitating rapid diagnosis of the colon. Two shape features, called the local shape index and curvedness, are used for defining the shape-scale spectrum. The shape index and curvedness values within CT colonographic data are mapped to the shape-scale spectrum in which specific types of colonic structures are represented by unique characteristic signatures in the spectrum. The characteristic signatures of specific types of lesions can be determined by use of computer-simulated lesions or by use of clinical data sets subjected to a computerized detection scheme. The signatures are used for defining a 2-D color map by assignment of a unique color to each signature region.

An visualization technique to unclutter the display and ease navigation in a large highly connected hyperbolic space. The visualization technique can be implemented by using an invisible link processor to execute an invisible link program. Initially, the invisible link processor only shows or displays the primary links (e.g., the parent-child path) of each node. All other non-primary links (e.g., secondary links or non-tree links) are invisible (i.e., not displayed for the user). Then, upon user selection the invisible link processor automatically maps the secondary child and sub-nodes associated therewith to the current selected node. The invisible link processor automatically restores (i.e., returns the previously moved secondary child and related sub-nodes to the original location in the hyperbolic space) upon receipt of a reset command. The visualization technique employs a link table, a link history log, and placeholders to check relationships among nodes including cyclic conditions. The visualization technique allows a user to freely focus on the hierarchy of interest without being disrupted by extra cross lines and intersections.
