Abstract

Three-dimensional volume rendering method which shows the inside of human body is widely used in medical imaging area. Existing medical imaging system using a volume rendering method already has provided a variety of three-dimensional results. Recently existing results in the medical imaging among physicians and patients to facilitate communication have been studied since smart device which has advantage of portability applied in the medical imaging. In this paper, we propose 3D volume visualization system for a relatively low spec portable smart devices by using 2D textures and we also implements 2D diagnostic images of portable medical imaging visualization system.

3차원 볼륨렌더링 방법은 인체의 외형뿐만 아니라 내부의 모습도 투과하여 보여줄 수 있기 때문에 의료영상 분야에서 널리 사용된다. 기존의 의료영상 장비는 볼륨렌더링 방법을 이용하여 다양한 3차원 영상을 제공하고 있다. 최근 의료영상 분야에서는 휴대성의 장점을 가진 스마트 기기를 도입함으로써 기존 의료영상 분야의 결과물을 의사와 환자들 사이에서 소통이 원활하게 하려는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비교적 저 사양인 휴대용 스마트 기기에서 3차원 볼륨데이터를 가시화하기 위하여 2차원 텍스쳐를 활용하는 방법을 제안하고 다양한 2차원, 3차원 진단영상을 제공하는 휴대용 의료영상 가시화 시스템을 제안한다.
