<h3>Objective</h3>
Pursure volume rendering that is suitable for real-time and interactive virtual colonoscopy display.

The objectives of this project is to:
* Examine internal volume rendering engines (open source) availabel in Slicer
* Provide external volume rendering engines (closed source) for virtual colonoscopy
* Compare the performance of these volume rendering engines.
* Compare the advantages and disadvantages of these volume rendering engines in real-time high-quality virtual colonoscopy navigation

</div>

<div style="width: 27%; float: left; padding-right: 3%;">

<h3>Approach, Plan</h3>
Several virtual colonoscopy datasets will be rendered by use of the below volume rendering engines.
* VTK GPU Raycasting in Slicer 3.6 (GLSL)
* Microsoft research (MSR) volume rendering (CUDA, closed source)

The performance of these volume rendering engines will be compared based on various metrics, including the response to multitouch functions.

</div>

<div style="width: 40%; float: left;">

<h3>Progress</h3>
The two volume rendering engines are installed on a single computer equipped with a CUDA-based GPU for rendering the virtual colonoscopy datasets and for performance comparison purposes.

</div>
</div>

<div style="width: 97%; float: left;">

==Namic Week Progress ==
* Microsoft Research GPU Volume Render, vtk GPU render and NCI GPU Render are installed in the same computer to compare image quality and performance
* Latest ACE's GPU render features are demoed and has some feature comparison
* Multi-touch interface on Microsoft Research GPU render is tested, showing inital flying through features
* Center line of Colon created using 3D Slicer, although the process is very slow due to large segmente colon data
* Center line created from 3D Imaging Lab, MGH
* Four GPU Render Comparison table:

==Delivery Mechanism==

A table that shows a comparison of the above two rendering engines in terms of

* rendering performance and
* advantages and disadvantages in rendering virtual colonoscopy datasets in clinical settings

will be delivered.
