ABSTRACT
We introduce the design and implementation of an interactive system for the navigation of cross-sectional anatomy based on Chinese Visible Human (CVH) data, named CvhSlicer. This system is featured in real-time computation and rendering of high-resolution anatomical images on standard personal computers (PCs) equipped with commodity Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). In order to load the whole-body dataset into the memory of a common PC, several processing steps are first applied to compress the huge CVH data. Thereafter, an adaptive CPU-GPU balancing scheme is performed to dynamically distribute rendering tasks among CPU and GPU based on parameters of computing resources. Experimental results demonstrate that our system can achieve real-time performance and has great potential to be used in anatomy education.
