Medical Visualization
We’ve been working with a client for some time now creating a new CT/MRI 3D visualizer. The main focus for the application is on image quality and user interaction. There are a few screenshots on the luster3d gallery, but here are newer screenshots from the latest version of the application. The quality is much higher now and we are beginning to focus more on product integration and user interface. You should note that the CT scan shown here is actually quite low-res. There are only 52 slices in the entire scan. Modern scanners can produce hundreds of slices per scan. You should be able to see why these scans are so useful. We can construct a sharp, accurate 3D image of a person’s body.
For those versed in medical visualization you can note that there is no special transfer function used here. The pixels are colored directly with the density value read from the scan, which means the 3D reconstruction matches the 2D slice view very closely.
