چکیده

The success of CT colonography (CTC) depends on appropriate tools for quick and accurate diagnostic reading. Current advancements in computer technology have the potential to bring such tools even to the PC level. In this paper a technique for Computed Aided Diagnosis (CAD) using CT colonography is described. The method labels positions in the volume data, which have a strong likelihood of being polyps and presents them in a user-friendly way. This method will reduce the amount of time needed by the radiologist to make a correct diagnosis. The method was tested on a study group of 18 patients and the sensitivity for polyps of 10 mm or larger is comparable to that of

Computer Aided Diagnosis for Virtual Colonography by Geometric Model Fitting

We present a system for Computer Aided Diagnosis in Virtual Colonography based on simple geometric model fitting. Our approach extends surface normal analysis and sphere fitting methods. We label locations in the volume data, which have a high probability of being colonic polyps, and present them in a user-friendly way. The method was tested on a study group of 30 patients. Using normal colonos...

Rapid Construction of Digital Model by Using Virtual Clay Modeling System

3D CAD systems have recently become essential to manufacturing processes. However it is still difficult to represent sculptured shapes using traditional 3D CAD systems because of its unintuitive interface. Consequently, designers tend to construct physical models such as clay models to express ideas on aesthetic design. With the rapid growth of virtual reality (VR) technologies, intuitive 3D in...
