Volume & IsoSurface Rendering

Volume Rendering tools
To help you achieve the optimal image, MedicView also provides you with a palette of Volume Rendering tools. You will find tools for interactive rotation, sliding and zooming, 2-step of Level of detail, Thick slab rendering, Maximum intensity projection, Volume cropping, interactive multiple classification, interactive multiple color rendering, opacity preset, shaded and textured volume rendering based on phong shading model, and the last but not least the support for stereo display and TerraRecon ™ VolumePro graphic card.

Interactive Shading in Volume rendering
MedicView uses a Phong shading model for controlling the appearance of the volume. It is controlled by four parametres (Ambient, Diffuse, Specular and Specular Power), each manipulating an image in a different way. From uniformly adjusting its brightness, changing the focus level of reflection, to modifying of how smooth you wish the appearance to be.

Support for perspective projections and clipping planes
You can choose fom numerous image viewing modes and perspectives, from standard controls enabling you to pan, zoom and rotate a slicer plane, to complex reslicing capabilities offering you functions like rotating the plane’s center around an axis, translating the entire active plane or only its edges, and spinning the plane at its center.

IsoSurface Rendering
The IsoSurface in general draws a 3-D surface within a volumetric data field, corresponding to points with a specific intensity value. MedicView enables you to visualize multiple data values in a 3D field creating a clear view of the several desired tissues. You can also change the color and opacity of the iso-surface to your liking.

Stereo Support
MedicView supports Interlaced and Red-Blue modes and technology for CrystalEye viewing. The last mode requires also the use of special hardware equipment like Crystal Eye 3D glasses to make up professional stereo effect visualization.
