Abstract

Presented is a fast display method for volumetric data sets, which involves a slicebased method for extracting potentially visible voxels to represent visible surfaces. For a given viewing direction, the number of visible voxels can be trimmed further by culling most of the voxels not visible from that direction. The entire 3D array of voxels is also present for invasive operations and direct access to interior structures. This approach has been integrated on a low-cost graphic engine as an interactive system for craniofacial surgical planning that is currently in clinical use.
