2008 IGT Project Week Volume Rendering for IGT using CUDA

Back to 2008_IGT_Project_Week#Projects

Team: Xenios Papademetris, Noby Hata, Steve Pieper

Goals: To use CUDA to accelerate the previous methods for vascular visualization and non-orthogonal cropping at Yale.

Approach: The concept is to take the currently used methods that rely on software-based raycasting and use CUDA to make them "real-time". We have some ideas as to how to do this in VTK and would like to see if there is pilot code in Slicer to do the same.

Results (to be completed and presented at the end of the week):
