Study and realization of multidimensional visualization techniques for multimodality medical images / 中国医疗器械杂志

ABSTRACT

This paper designed a multimodal medical image visualization system using open source VTK on platform VS2008. The system can visualize CT, MR, PET and SPECT using different visualization methods, such as multi-planar reconstruction (MPR), curved planar reformation (CPR), direct volume rendering (DVR), indirect volume rendering (IVR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP). Clinical practice shows that the system has stable performance and the visualization methods which make the reading of different modal medical images more convenient. The maximum number of CT slices the system can reconstruct is more than 2 000, and the reconstruction speed and quality meet the clinical requirements.
