Third International Symposium on 3D Data Processing, Visualization, and Transmission -Title
The following topics were dealt with: urban modeling; 3D navigation; geometric modelling; visual hulls; 3D coding and transmission; 3D retrieval; multiple view reconstruction; and large scale models and view planning.
IEE Colloquium on '3-D Imaging Techniques for Medicine' (Digest No.083)
Applications of combined three dimensional SPECT and CT imaging
The complementary nature of single photon emission tomography (SPECT) and transmission computed tomography (CT) is demonstrated in two clinical applications: (i) dosimetry of targetted radiotherapy and (ii) determination of the pulmonary di...
Interactive three-dimensional and dynamic display of gated blood pool tomograms
The complete system described provides a powerful adjunct to the existing computing and display facilities associated with the section scanner. It provides a means by which a large amount of three dimensional and temporal data can be displa...
Volume imaging of soft tissues with ultrasound
Acquiring and displaying 3D (volume) sets of ultrasound (US) data raises a number of interesting questions of both principle and practice. Some of these relate quite widely to soft tissue imaging in general, others such as the problem of wh...
3D synergistic imaging as an aid to image interpretation and surgical planning
The authors have developed four applications where registration of images from different modalities provides opportunities for synergism. By combining NR and SPECT images of the brain, it is possible to locate functional abnormalities indic...
Using a fine-grain parallel processor to achieved 3D medical image visualisation within the MIRIAD project
The authors describe part of the work of the IED research project MIRIAD, 'Medical Image Reconstruction Interpretation Display', The project as a whole has a strong interest in volume imaging. The problems being addressed include those inhe...
Wide-angle acquisition and volumetric reconstruction in position emission tomography the goal, the problems and implementation
A method of acquiring wide angle PET data has been described, the practical reasons for this development have been outlined. The ensuing problems associated with this have been addressed, and techniques are being developed to correct for th...
3D graphics in surgical simulation
The author discusses the development of an integrated system for the planning of maxillo-facial and cranial surgery. The system makes use of computer graphics to simulate surgical operations on the bone and produces a prediction of the effe...
3D imaging-a clinical perspective
The author briefly examines clinical applications of 3D imaging. These include: orthopaedic applications, neurology and neurosurgery, radiotherapy planning, stereotactic biopsy and volumetric measurements.<<ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/...
