Dong Hui, Ling Xia, Zhi Peng, Jin Zhang · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
Nowadays, medical image processing and three-dimensional visualization have become a very important support for doctor diagnosis and treatment planning. It’s a novel technology that using ITK and VTK to process and display medical images in VC++. In this paper, the Curvature FlowImageFilter class of ITK libraries is used to denoise and smooth the medical images. The MC algorithms is used to reconstruct the volume data in the VS2008. Immediate Mode algorithms and Stripper filter algorithms are adopted to speed up large data processing. The experiment results demonstrate that using the MC algorithms and the acceleration algorithms base on the VTK can implement 3-D visualization efficiently and satisfy practical applications.
