Abstract
For soft tissue organs, standard 3D-reconstructions can only provide a snapshot of a dynamically deforming structure. A reasonable possibility to overcome this drawback is the transition forward from 3D-reconstruction to 4D-visualization, i. e. rendering time dependent behavior based on dynamical radiological data sets. This article is dedicated to dynamical visualization of craniofacial soft tissue, namely human eye movement (MRI) and real time visualization of the downward movement of a volunteer’s mandible (256 row 4D-CT, NIRS, Chiba, Japan). Within several considered approaches for presentation of the results, stereoscopic realization of the 4D-visualization was regarded as providing best diagnostic impact and acceptance.
