3d Distance Measurements in Medical Visualizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss 3d interaction techniques for the quantitative analysis of spatial relations in medical visualizations. As an example, we describe the design and implementation of 3d distance measurement tools. The visualization of measurement tools as recognizable 3d objects and a 3d interaction, which is both intuitive and precise, determines the usability of such facilities. Moreover, we explain how important distance measurement tasks may be solved automatically. The paper is focussed on therapy planning applications.

Optimization of 3D Planning Dosimetry in a Breast Phantom for the Match Region of Supraclavicular and Tangential Fields
Introduction: The complex geometry of breast and also lung and heart inhomogeneities near the planning target volume (PTV) result in perturbations in dose distribution. This problem can result in overdosage or underdosage in the match region of the three treatment fields. The purpose of this study is to create a homogeneous dose distribution in the match region between the supraclavicular and t...

We discuss techniques for the visualization of medical volume data dedicated for their clinical use. We describe the need for rapid dynamic interaction facilities with such visualizations and discuss emphasis techniques in more detail. Another crucial aspect of medical visualization is the integration of 2d and 3d visualizations. In order to organize this discussion, we introduce 6 „Golden“ rul...
متن کاملFabrication of New 3D Phantom for Measuring Geometric Distortion in Magnetic Resonance Imaging System
Introduction: Geometric distortion is a major shortcoming of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has an important influence on the accuracy of volumetric measurements, an important parameter in neurology and oncology. Our goal is to design and construct a new three- dimensional phantom using a 3D printer in order to measure geometric distortion and its reproducibility in...
متن کاملSystematic Parameterization, Storage, and Representation of Volumetric DICOM Data
Tomographic medical imaging systems produce hundreds to thousands of slices, enabling three-dimensional (3D) analysis. Radiologists process these images through various tools and techniques in order to generate 3D renderings for various applications, such as surgical planning, medical education, and volumetric measurements. To save and store these visualizations, current systems use snapshots o...
متن کاملDifferent levels of 3D: An evaluation of visualized discrete spatiotemporal data in space-time cubes
Summary) New technologies and techniques allow novel kinds of visualizations and different types of 3D visualizations are constantly developed. We propose a categorization of 3D visualizations and, based on this categorization, evaluate two versions of a space-time cube that show discrete spatiotemporal data. The two visualization techniques used are a headtracked stereoscopic visualization ('s...
