THREE-DIMENTIONAL DISPLAY OF NUCLEAR IMAGES USING MULTIPLEX HOLOGRAPHY

Volume rendering in three-dimensional display of SPECT images.

Three-dimensional display utilizing volume rendering is valuable in the display of SPECT data. Volume rendering enhances continuity of structures compared to slice display, and cine display of volume rendered images facilitates understanding of spatial relationships. Image contrast and noise characteristics were analyzed for depth-weighted maximum activity projection, a form of volume rendering...

Electronic display system for computational holography

We present an electro-optical apparatus capable of displaying a computer generated hologram (CGH) in real time. The CGH is calculated by a supercomputer, read from a fast frame buffer, and transmitted to a high-bandwidth acousto-optic modulator (AOM). Coherent light is modulated by the AOM and optically processed to produce a three-dimensional image with horizontal parallax.

Light-in-flight digital holography display.

We present a digital speckle-pattern interferometric setup that can be operated at TV frame rates (30 ms) to display the locus of the points at which the optical-path difference between the reference and object beams is within the coherence length. Experimental results are shown.

Three-dimensional display in nuclear medicine and radiology.

As three-dimensional displays become more common in nuclear medicine and radiology, it is important to know when they should be employed. Selection of the appropriate three-dimensional rendering method requires an understanding of the techniques and both their advantages and limitations. This review article is intended to provide an introduction to three-dimensional rendering techniques. Method...
