Objective

Pursure volume rendering that is suitable for real-time and interactive virtual colonoscopy display.

The objective of this project is to:

  • Examine internal volume rendering (open source) availabel in Slicer
  • Provide external volume rendering (closed source) for virtual colonoscopy
  • Compare the performance of these volume rendering routines.
  • Compare the advantages and disadbantages of these volume rendering routines

Approach, Plan

Several virtual colonoscopy datasets will be rendered by use of the below volume rendering routines.

  • VTK GPU Raycasting in slicer 3.6 (GLSL)
  • Microsoft research (MSR) volume rendering (CUDA, closed source)

Their performance will be compared based on various metrics.

Progress

The two volume rendering routines are installed on a single computer (single CUDA-based GPU) for rendering the virtual colonoscopy datasets as well as for performance comparison purposes.

Delivery Mechanism

Basic volume rendering codes for virtual colonoscopy
