Abstract
The display of iso-surfaces in medical data sets is an
important visualization
technique used by radiologists for the diagnosis of volumetric density
data sets. The demands put by radiologists on such a display
technique are interactivity, multiple stacked transparent surfaces and
cutting planes that allow an interactive clipping of the
surfaces. This paper presents a Java based, platform independent
implementation of a very fast surface rendering algorithm which
combines the advantages of explicit surface representation, splatting,
and
shear-warp projection to fulfill all these requirements. The algorithm
is
implemented within the context of J-Vision, an application for viewing
and
diagnosing medical images which is currently in use at various
hospitals.
