Abstract

The usual way to document medical data is using 2D images and textual transcription as medium. But for analysing the position and the spatial dimensions of an aneurysma 3D information is mandatory. This information can be provided by digital videos that show the visualized 3D medical data set. However, to generate such videos usually is a very inconvenient and time-consuming procedure. To automate this it is necessary to define a standardized way of observing the medical data set. The following paper presents an approach to automatically record a digital video sequence of an aneurysma in CT-data sets which is based on hardware supported texture mapping.
