    摘要: The present invention relates to direct volume rendering based on a light model applied to a 3D array of information data samples. Gradients are first estimated for the individuals samples, and a simple shading is done on the samples with low gradient, i.e. homogenous areas.

    摘要: Medical imaging modalities generate increasingly more and very large three-dimensional data sets. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a three-dimensional data set of an object of interest is interactively visualized with a varying sampling rate in an image. Advantageously, a focus area may be moved by a user interactively during rendering, wherein the sampling rate of a particular part of the image is defined by its relative position to the focus area. Advantageously, this may allow for an improvement of an overall rendering performance.

    摘要: High frequency signals cannot be reconstructed properly from sampled data if the sampling frequency lies below the Nyquist rate. The invention addresses this problem by choosing few additional sample points along a trajectory intersecting the region comprising the high frequency signals, such as an edge. Intermediate rendering data is used to determine the additional sample points. Therefore, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, 4 adaptively chosen sample points per pixel may provide a visual quality comparable to 16 times super-sampling, but at a much lower computational cost.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a way of storing 3D images. The 3D image is composed of a stack of two-dimensional video data subsets represented by arrays of pixel data. Each array of pixel data is partitioned into a plurality of overlapping and adjacent vertical stripes of pixel data having a width at most equal to a cacheline of the memory. The upper most left stripe is stored first and each stripe is stored after the left adjacent stripe. When storing each stripe having multiple rows of pixel data, the upper row is stored first and the first pixel data of each subsequent row of the stripe is stored in a memory location coming after a memory location where the last pixel data of the preceding row in the stripe is stored.

    摘要: Because of the increasing size of digital images available, an interactive rendering speed at a high display quality continues to be a challenging task. According to the present invention, a sampling frequency of a ray casting for generating the projection image is varied in dependence of information derived from the 3D volume data during rendering. Furthermore, an interpolation is performed for skipped pixels for which no ray casting was performed in the projection image, based on-this information. Advantageously, the present invention allows for an improved image quality, while reducing a computation time required to generate an output image.

    摘要: A system and method for quantifying a region of interest in a medical image and in particular, a PET image. The system and method allow the clinician to make real time quantitative analysis of a region of interest. The system and method can be used to quantify small lesions within a region of interest by generating a set of virtual lesions for comparison with the actual lesion. Quantitative information, such as lesion size and tracer activity, or SUV, can be obtained to assist the clinician or physician in the diagnosis and treatment of the lesion.
