A Fast Maximum Intensity Projection Algorithm Based on Sorted Volumetric Data
Huan Feng · 2003
A new maximum intensity projection algorithm is presented based on the sorted volumetric data. the new algorithm adopts the principle of projection from the ShearWarp algorithm, which is the fastest projection algorithm. By means of adjusting the threshold, which determines the termination of traversing the sorted volumetric data, realtime rendering can be realized on the personal computer. The proposed algorithm reaches the speed of 10 frames/second against the medium volume data without affecting the display of effective information.
