Abstract:
A hybrid rendering method (color-coded 3D shaded-surface and volume display) with the possibility of virtual endoscopy using image data sets from HR-SCT was developed. To show the possible advantages and benefits of the improved rendering algorithm we have specifically highlighted the use in relation to the auditory and vestibular system. Postprocessing image visualization offers improved morphological analysis, and will benefit radiological diagnostics, medical education, surgical planning, surgical training and postoperative assessment.
