Volume rendering of CT data: applications to the genitourinary tract.

Volume rendering of the tympanic cavity from micro-CT data.

The current study presents volumetric reconstruction of the tympanic cavity obtained from micro-CT scans which pixel size was 18 μm. Thanks to this, osseous components of the tympanic cavity were shown in high optical resolution, causing that their morphological appearance was clearly demonstrated. Particular attention was paid on imaging the medial wall of the tympanic cavity, because its stru...

Interactive three-dimensional volume rendering of spiral CT data: current applications in the thorax.

Spiral computed tomographic (CT) data sets coupled with a real-time volume-rendering technique allow creation of accurate three-dimensional (3D) images that can be used for a wide range of clinical applications. The image contrast of and relative pixel attenuations in the final image can be interactively modified by the user in real time by manipulating trapezoidal transfer functions. Although ...

Efficient CT Image Volume Rendering for Diagnosis

Volume rendering is widely used in medical CT image visualization. Applying 3D image visualization to diagnosis application can require accurate volume rendering with high resolution. Interpolation is important in medical image processing applications such as image compression or volume resampling. However, it can distort the original image data because of edge blurring or blocking effects when...

Sports injuries to the genitourinary tract.

The K-buffer and Its Applications to Volume Rendering

Harvesting the power of modern graphics hardware to solve the complex problem of real-time rendering of large unstructured meshes is a major research goal in the volume visualization community. Although for regular grids texture-based techniques are well suited for current Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), the steps necessary for rendering unstructured meshes are not so easily mapped to current...
