Abstract:

In order to improve the visual effect and reconstruction eficiency of 3 D medical images.a method of vo-lume rendering is proposed based on modularization.In this method,the segmentation module is effectively corn-bined with the volume rendering,and a segmentation method based on the growing and cluster analyses in hybrid link region is developed to eliminate the disturbance of obstacles during the rotational display of 3 D image.Moreover,the modification of reconstructed kernel is performed based on the Raycasting algorithm,by adopting a resam-pling method with round--box selection and dynamic step-length adjustment to improve the reconstruction eficiency and by rotating light source and view angle to resample and reconstruct the interested region.Experiment,al results finally reveal the high eficiency and good display perform ance of the proposed method.

Key words: modularization, medical image, volume rendering, raycasting, rotational display, segmentation
