Volumetric Medical Imaging Environment

چکیده
We describe a graphical tool for analysis and visualization of three dimensional medical data. The application is intended to help physicians interpret the geometric structures of volumetric medical data and navigate through it easily. It combines novel approaches for segmenting the data and advanced techniques for visualizing the models which allow fast processing on a standard personal computer. The software’s size and its minimal system demands make it suitable for remote operation. We describe the various components of the application, and provide sample results.

Feasibility of using Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit in volumetric studies to accurate diagnosing of vascular emboli by Extended NURBS-based Cardiac-Torso phantom
Introduction: Important complications of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are a longer hospital stay, readmission, recurrence of the emboli, complications of anticoagulant therapy and death in a sever condition. In present study, the volume measurement accuracy of the medical imaging interaction toolkit (MITK) software on determining VTE in computed tomography images was evaluated....
متن کاملMaximum Intensity Projection Weighted by Statistical Cues
Volumetric visualization of medical data is a specific task, as doctors and radiology technicians are not well trained in the field of computer graphics; therefore, algorithms for visualization of medical data must be as intuitive as possible, so that visualization tools employing them would be helpful in medical environment. Visualization of volumetric data acquired by medical imaging could no...
متن کاملA Volumetric Virtual Environment for Catheter Insertion Simulation
We present an experimental catheter insertion simulation system that provides users co-registered haptic and head-tracked stereoscopic visual feedback. The system works on patient-specific volumetric data acquired using standard medical imaging modalities. The actual needle insertion operation is simulated for individual patients, rather than being an example of a model surgical procedure on st...
متن کاملLossless Compression of Volumetric Medical Data
Medical imaging applications produce large sets of similar images. Thus a compression technique is useful to reduce space storage. Lossless compression methods are necessary in such critical applications. Volumetric medical data presents strong similarity between successive frames. In this paper we investigate predictive techniques for lossless compression of video sequences applied to volumetr...

Background: Paranasal sinus disease is one of the most common problems of patients that refer to ENT centers. Adding to clinical examination imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment. Also the imaging of paranasal sinuses is necessary before surgery. Although computed tomography is the modality of choice for these areas, it has some disadvantages which the most important one is...
