We investigate a novel visualization method by which to render white matter fiber bundles, based on illustrative rendering. Illustrative rendering specializes in producing stylized images which allow for a great deal of abstraction. We aim to use guidelines and techniques from the traditional fields of hand drawn illustration to provide a more abstract illustrative visualization of the clustered white matter. The rendering technique will be accompanied by a focus & context technique based on the paradigm of exploded views. It interactively shifts the positions of contextual bundles in a non-obtrusive way, making room for viewing the focused bundle fully.
