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

We will integrate this volume rendering codes to end-to-end virtual colonoscopy module:

• implement volume rendering algorithm
• integrate afterwards

This leads to add volume rendering for virtual colonoscopy to GUI Slicer module.
