Key Points

  • The research aims to present computer graphics systems that utilize CT data for diagnosing and planning treatments.
  • Described two computer graphics systems designed for biomedical applications.
  • Utilized CT data as input for both systems.
  • One system focuses on creating 3D surface representations, while the other aids in radiation treatment planning.
  • The first system successfully generates detailed 3D models of organs and anatomical features.
  • The second system enhances the accuracy of radiation treatment planning by utilizing tomographic data.

Abstract

Two computer graphics systems for the presentation of biomedical information for diagnosis and treatment planning are described. Both systems presented utilize computer tomographic (CT) data as input. One of the systems produces three-dimensional surface representations of organs and anatomical features found within the body. The other system is a radiation treatment planning aid which uses tomographic data in its computations.
