Abstract

Visualization of three dimensional medical images has been studied in many ways. For CT and MRI data, 3D rendering schemes are commercially available and widly used. However visualization of ultrasonic 3D data is not popular yet, even though its potentional in medical diagnosis seems very high. In this paper we try to visualize 3D ultrasonic data. The basic method is adopted from the volume rendering technique. Based on the characteristics of the ultrasonic images, 3D visualization algorithm is developed and applied for the 3D image set of a dog heart.
