title: Information visualisation in clinical medicine using 3D parallel diagrams: a case history.
abstract: An information visualisation tool was implemented and tested as a solution to the problem of visualising clinical experience derived from large amounts of formalised clinical data. The tool was based on the idea of dynamic 3D parallel diagrams with support for direct manipulation, an idea similar to the notion of 3D parallel coordinates. The tool was tested on a knowledge base containing about 1500 examinations obtained from different clinics. Clinical practice showed that the basic idea is conceptually appealing to the involved clinicians as the tool can be used for generating and testing of hypothesis.
