Key Investigators

  • MGH: Yin Wu, June-Goo Lee, Hiro Yoshida
  • BWH/Isomics: Steve Pieper, Alex Yarmarkovich, Ron Kikinis

Objective

Optimize interactive performance of open source volume rendering on commodity computing devices:

  • vtkGPU ray cast mapper with view-dependent field of view (cropping)
    • slicer3 endoscopy module with volume cropped to transformed ROI
    • plans for slicer4
      • PythonQt endoscopy module
      • design discussions for volume rendering in slicer4
  • vtkCUDA library
    • custom volume rendering
    • GPGPU computing

Approach, Plan

  • Identify other projects/researchers with an interest in real-time volume rendering
  • Identify other projects/researchers with an interest in GPGPU computing environment
  • Assess needs for slicer4 implementation

Progress
