Abstract
Visualization of 3D tomographic images
by slicing, i.e. by intersecting a 3D tomographic image with a plane having
any desired position and orientation is a tool of choice both for learning
and for diagnosis purposes. In this project, a parallel Visible Human Slice
Web server has been developed, which offers to any Web client the capability
of interactively specifying the exact position and orientation of a desired
slice and of requesting and obtaining that slice from a 3D tomographic
volume, made of either CT, MRI or cryosection images (digital color photographs
of cross-sections). For interactive slice position and orientation, a miniature
3D version of the full image is used.
Keywords: 3D visualization, pipelined-parallel
plane extraction, Java applet.
