VOLUME BODY RENDERER

摘要

Irregular volumes within one or more three dimensional volume datasets are identified and extracted in response to criteria (16). The processing involves automatically finding a seed voxel or seed cell that meets the criteria and thus belongs to an irregular volume of interest, and then identifying cells related to the seed cell by one or more predetermined relationships that are therefore also to be grouped into that irregular volume. Information of a suitable type identifies each cell as being related to other cells and belongs to an irregular volume is stored in a data structure (12). Attributs or properties of the identified cell are stored. The extraction and pre-rocessing allows for rendering (32) them on a display and performing Boolean and arithmetic operations on them.
