Nowadays, the examination of digitized samples with a 2 dimensional visualization software is a common solution in digital pathology. In addition to these solutions, a new and emerging display technology is 3 dimensional visualization. Using 3 dimensional visualization technology, doctors and researchers may be able to examine areas of tissue samples that 2 dimensional imaging programs do not allow. Examples include the internal structure of a tissue sample, the interconnection of individual tissue portions, and even volumetric lesions. Basically, 3 dimensional visualization currently has 2 major branches, all of which are covered in this paper. The first is the polygon-based visualization, the second is the voxel-based visualization. The goal of visualization is basically the same in both methods, to be able to enable 3 dimensional visualization using 2 dimensional data, but their implementation and operation are different.
