Ray Casting With "On-the-Fly" Region Growing: 3-D Navigation Into Cardiac MSCT Volume
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an extended ray casting scheme for three-dimensional (3-D) navigation into the heart cavities for preoperative planning using multislice X-ray computed tomography data. The key benefit is that artifacts due to contrast inhomogeneities can be eliminated during volume traversal, thus improving the visual perception of the endocardial wall.

MSCT labelling for pre-operative planning in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
The objective of this paper is twofold: (i) to show how multislice computed tomography (MSCT) data sets bring the information required for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) planning; (ii) to demonstrate the feasibility of 3D navigation into the veins where left ventricular leads have to be placed. The former has been achieved by exploring and labelling the cardiac structures of concern, t...
متن کاملAn Initial Study on the Coordination of Rod and Line Hauling Movements in Distance Fly Casting
Background. The double haul is a unique feature of single-handed fly casting and is used in both fly fishing and fly casting competition. The movement behaviour during the double haul has not been investigated in previous research. Objectives. Describe the coordination of the rod and line hauling movements during distance fly casting. Methods. Elite fly casters performed distance castin...
متن کاملVisualization of Very Large Oceanography Time-Varying Volume Datasets
This paper presents two visualization techniques suitable for huge oceanography time-varying volume datasets on high-performance graphics workstations. We first propose an off-line parallel rendering algorithm that merges volume ray-casting and on-the-fly isocontouring. This hybrid technique is quite effective in producing fly-through movies of high resolution. We also describe an interactive r...
متن کاملC-Ray: Interactive Volume Ray Casting Library for Cell B.E. Architecture
In this paper, we introduce a new volume ray casting algorithm optimized for the Cell B.E. architecture. The importance of volume rendering has been increased as the amount of volumetric data keeps increasing due to the widespread of 3-D imaging devices such as a 3-D laser scanner, CT, MRI, and 3-D confocal microscopy as well as 3-D simulation in many disciplines of science and engineering. Amo...
متن کاملAn interactive visualization and navigation tool for medical volume data
Interactive direct volume rendering by hardware assisted 3D texture mapping has become a powerful visualization method in many different fields. However, to make this technique fully practicable convenient visualization options and data analysis tools have to be integrated. For example, direct rendering of semi-transparent volume objects with integrated display of lighted iso-surfaces is one im...
