The recent proliferation of multi–detector row computed tomography (CT) has led to an
increase in the creation and interpretation of images in planes other than the traditional axial …

Current internal organ dose assessment methodologies utilize three-dimensional (3D)
medical images of the body to model organ shapes and tissue interfaces. These models are …

We present a new algorithm, called marching cubes, that creates triangle models of constant
density surfaces from 3D medical data. Using a divide-and-conquer approach to generate …

The application of volume-rendering techniques to the display of surfaces from sampled
scalar functions of three spatial dimensions is discussed. It is not necessary to fit geometric …

Volume rendering is a technique for visualizing sampled scalar or vector fields of three
spatial dimensions without fitting geometric primitives to the data. A subset of these …

This paper presents a ray tracing algorithm for rendering 3D scalar fields. An illumination
model is developed in which the field is characterized as a varying density emittter with a …

A shape-based interpolation scheme for multidimensional images is presented. This
scheme consists of first segmenting the given image data into a binary image, converting the …

This paper describes VolumePro, the world's first single-chip realtime volume rendering
system for consumer PCs. VolumePro implements ray-casting with parallel slice-by-slice …

Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in
medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the …

A comprehensive software package, called ANALYZE, has been developed (1) which
permits detailed investigation and evaluation of multidimensional biomedical images …
