THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DECIDING BOUNDARY IN THREEDIMENSIONAL (3D) IMAGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize measurement and automatic navigation by permitting a view selector to obtain the first data set of a voxcel, which corresponds to a boundary in a three-dimensional image which is volume-rendered through the use of prescribed boundary reference applied to the boundary functions of plural voxcels in response to user input. SOLUTION: A view selector system 10 cooperates with a 3D graphic generator 12, receives user input through GUI of an I/O device 46 and selects a view point. The 3D graphic selector 12 generates volume rendering from the view point selected through the processor 16. The view selector system 10 receives a voxcel value and a turbidity degree value corresponding to volume rendering from a user with respect to one point in volume rendering. The existence of one boundary is decided from a turbidity degree with respect to the point and a selected function is executed.
