An Interactive Tool for Manipulation and Presentation of 3D Tomographic Data

  • Conference paper
Computer Assisted Radiology / Computergestützte Radiologie

Summary

An interactive software tool allowing manipulation and presentation of 3D tomographic data is described. The core idea is to use a 3D cubic visual model of the data set that can be manipulated interactively in an intuitive way. This approach provides possibilities for easy morphometric operations in 3D, comfortable visual object detection and localization (e.g. EEG electrode mapping) and intuitive setting of geometrical parameters for subsequent 3D rendering.

The program uses a sophisticated 3D volumetric rendering algorithm that make fast 3D reconstruction possible: adaptive undersampling, view-to-view coherence, new fast voxel traversal based on cubic macro regions etc. The program is implemented on an X11-based workstation using OSF/Motif.
