  • Title: Realtime textured 3D-models for medical applications.
    Author: Kübler C, Bauer L, Heinze P, Raczkowsky J, Wörn H.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2002; 85():247-51. PubMed ID: 15458095.
    Abstract:
    Realistic visualisation becomes more and more important in medicine. Whenever a patient individual 3D-model was generated the aim is to visualise the model as realistic as possible. We use 3D-models in our diagnostic and therapeutic tools for intraoperative visualisation of e.g. CT-scans. Most medical tools uses surface-rendering or volume-rendering for virtual visualisation. The coloration of a visualised model is normally done by using a convenient colour for each surface resp. volume. Our approach for 3D-models generated from motion in image series (e.g. videoendoscopes) is to add textures to the 3D-model. The main problem is, to handle the huge amount of videoimage-data (20Mb/sec.) and render the model in realtime.
