Why visualise? We think this Quicktime animation (2.6 MB) about visualising plaque on an artery wall tells the story quite well. It shows the stages in going from the original 2D ultrasound scans to a full colour 3D representation of the artery - which is much easier to interpret and understand. This visualisation was created by Colin Currie, Dept. of Medicine, University of Sydney. A single image from each area of research is shown below.
