چکیده

The visualization of medical images, e.g. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and the utilization of measurement tools to define distances, areas and volumes are very important to health professionals. The quantitative analysis of spatial relations among structures is useful for medical diagnosis. This work describes a visualization system that provides interactive measurement tools. MRI images acquired from a phantom were used to increase system accuracy.
