With the increasing availability of high-resolution isotropic three-or four-dimensional medical
datasets from sources such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and …

Importance. Medical images are essential for modern medicine and an important research
subject in visualization. However, medical experts are often not aware of the many …

The tremendous evolution of programmable graphics hardware has made high-quality real-
time volume graphics a reality. In addition to the traditional application of rendering volume …

Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in
medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the …

In this work we present a flexible framework for GPU-based volume rendering. The
framework is based on a single pass volume raycasting approach and is easily extensible in …

This paper presents a real-time rendering pipeline for implicit surfaces defined by a regular
volumetric grid of samples. We use a ray-casting approach on current graphics hardware to …

We present the first implementation of a volume ray casting algorithm for tetrahedral meshes
running on off-the-shelf programmable graphics hardware. Our implementation avoids the …

This survey gives an overview of the current state of the art in GPU techniques for interactive
large‐scale volume visualization. Modern techniques in this field have brought about a sea …

We present an adaptive out-of-core technique for rendering massive scalar volumes
employing single-pass GPU ray casting. The method is based on the decomposition of a …

Volume raycasting techniques are important for both visual arts and visualization. They
allow an efficient generation of visual effects and the visualization of scientific data obtained …
