Abstract

In this paper, we represented the variation of heart cavity area in the space domain by 3-d rendering. We arranged the 2-d sequence of ultrasonic image acquired in the time domain as volumetric data, and extracted heart cavity region from 3-d data. For the segmentation of 3-d volume data, we extracted the cavity region using the method of expanding the cavity region that is same statistical property. By shading which is using light and object normal vector, we visualized the volume data on image plane.
