Four dimensional visualization (FDV) project for clinical angiography has started at National Cancer Center since 1995 in cooperation with medical virtual reality projects in our center. All stereo pair of x-ray angiographic images, both digital images and film based conventional x-ray images, are available in this system. FDV system software was developed on a Silicon Graphics platform. Every stereo pair angiographic images can be viewed stereoscopically using a stereoscopic visualization interface. Series of image data sets provide three dimensional blood flow dynamics that is very useful to diagnose vascular encasement by the tumor and to determine vessel of purpose which locates in front or in back from superimposed angiographic images.
