A software platform for interactive analysis on 3D medical data
Cheng Dong Wei, Yongfei Xiao, Zhao Youlei · 2015
Analysis on the anatomical relationship between the conventional 2D medical images and correlative tissues is vital to both the physicians and the interns in surgery planning. However, regular measures are not intuitive and greatly depend on the physicians' experience and their medical knowledge. In this paper, a software platform is developed for a more intuitive and accurate analysis on the anatomical relationship in the diagnosis and surgery planning. Both the oblique clipping image and a 3D tissue model with an interactive transfer function module are showed in a stereoscopic scene to illustrate the 3D human pathology and anatomy in real time. For convenience, a software interface is also designed so that different 6DOF interactive devices can be applied in the project. This article offers a novel resolution for the improvement in the assessment of anatomical structures and understanding of medical imaging technology in a more realistic manner.
