Enhanced Visualization of Volume

چکیده
The eeective analysis of three-dimensional biomedical images has application in a wide variety of medical applications , ranging from the analysis of unborn foetuses for heart defects to the facial reconstruction of murder victims. However, currently employed feedback techniques concerning analysis of three-dimensional image structures are themselves presented in the visual domain. This paper presents an overview of a research project in which information is presented in the aural domain as a compliment to the visualization process. Spatial audio or stereo audio techniques are employed for the task. The system implementation has been based around a number of established public domain software elements, including the Xforms graphical user interface software, the Bob visualization package, and the Csound audio control language system.

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 کاملStructure Size Enhanced Histogram A Transfer Function for 3D Volume Visualization
Direct volume visualization requires the definition of transfer functions (TFs) for the assignment of opacity and color. Multi-dimensional TFs are based on at least two image properties, and are specified by means of 2D histograms. In this work we propose a new type of a 2D histogram which combines gray value with information about the size of the structures. This structure size enhanced (SSE) ...

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of four-time inflation of the stent balloon at nominal pressure on optimal stent expansion in resistant lesions. Materials and Methods: This interventional study was conducted on 39 patients with coronary artery lesions, in whom Zotarolimus-eluting stents (N=20), Paclitaxel-eluting stents (N=11) and other stents (N=8) were deployed four tim...
متن کاملFeature-Enhanced Visualization of Multidimensional, Multivariate Volume Data Using Non-photorealistic Rendering Techniques
This paper presents a set of feature enhancement techniques coupled with hardware-accelerated nonphotorealistic rendering for generating more perceptually effective visualization of multidimensional, multivariate volume data, such as those obtained from typical computational fluid dynamics simulations. For time-invariant data, one or more variables are used to either highlight important feature...

متن کاملEnabling 3D Ultrasound Procedure Guidance through Enhanced Visualization
Real-time 3D ultrasound (3DUS) imaging offers improved spatial orientation information relative to 2D ultrasound. However, in order to improve its efficacy in guiding minimally invasive intra-cardiac procedures where realtime visual feedback of an instrument tip location is crucial, 3DUS volume visualization alone is inadequate. This paper presents a set of enhanced visualization functionalitie...
