Abstract

In this paper, we visualized 3-dimensional volume of heart using volume method by thresholding in EBT slices data. Volume rendering is the method that acquire the color by casting a pixel ray to volume data. The gray level of heart region is so high that we decide heart region by thresholding method. When a pixel ray is cast to volume data, the region that is higher than threshold value becomes heart region. We effectively rendered the heart volume and showed the 3-dimensional heart volume.
