Efficient CT Image Volume Rendering for Diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 image enhancement procedures were applied. In this paper, we proposed adaptive tension control method exploiting gradient information to achieve high resolution medical image enhancement in volume visualization, where restored images are similar to original images as much as possible. The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve image quality associated with the adaptive tension control efficacy. Keywords—Tension control, Interpolation, Ray-casting, Medical imaging analysis.

Segmentation Assisted Object Distinction for Direct Volume Rendering
Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...
متن کاملComputational 3D Ultrasound Volumetric Rendering; an Object Oriented Open-Sources Approach
On account of the advanced technology in recent years, the increasing demand for an effective medical imaging system has addressed its significance in diagnosis especially in the development of threedimensional medical image reconstruction. Of the various software that have been investigated, none of them show efficiency in terms of cost and computational performance. Owing to this fact, a meth...
متن کاملMassive Volume Rendering on a Volume Visualization Cluster
This paper describes rendering of massive volumes on a volume visualization cluster. We present our data distribution scheme and introduce an algorithm which reduces the memory requirement with no loss of accuracy. The volume is tightly cropped to a segmented region and partitioned into small volume blocks. The bounding boxes of these volume blocks are used for flexible and efficient distributi...
متن کاملCinematic rendering – an alternative to volume rendering for 3D computed tomography imaging
Volume rendering (VR) represents today's standard three-dimensional (3-D) image post-processing technique, and often is used to visualize complex anatomical information. Recently, a novel 3-D technique for post-processing of computed tomography (CT) image data has been introduced, which is called cinematic rendering (CR). The objective of this review is to illustrate the image appearance and po...
متن کاملInteractive electronic biopsy for 3D virtual colonoscopy
We propose an interactive electronic biopsy technique for more accurate colon cancer diagnoses by using advanced volume rendering technologies. The volume rendering technique defines a transfer function to map different ranges of sample values of the original volume data to different colors and opacities, so that the interior structure of the polyps can be clearly recognized by human eyes. Spec...
