Advanced Algorithms in Medical Computer Graphics

医学图像可视化的最新论述，新进展-Advanced algorithms and efficient visualization techniques are of major importance in intra-operative imaging

and image-guided surgery. The surgical environment is characterized by a high information flow and fast decisions,

requiring efficient and intuitive presentation of complex medical data and precision in the visualization

results. Regions or organs that are classified as risk structures are in this context of particular interest. This paper

summarizes advanced algorithms for medical visualization with special focus on risk structures such as tumors,

vascular systems and white matter fiber tracts. Algorithms and techniques employed in intra-operative situations

or virtual and mixed reality simulations are discussed. Finally, the prototyping and software development process

of medical visualization algorithms is addressed.
