The Study and Implementation of Virtual Endoscopy Based on VTK 3D Surface Rendering

Abstract:

Virtual Endoscopy is a new non-invasive inspection method, it gets the body's two-dimensional slice data by CT, MRI and collects volume data to generate three-dimensional model of the various organs of the body, then three-dimensional model generates visual display, glimpses the roaming function. This article imitates camera model by visualization toolkit, using flexible keyboard and mouse to control the virtual camera to roam in the trachea, having achieved the visualization of virtual endoscopy. Virtual endoscopy has broad application prospects in the realization of the virtual medical diagnostic virtual therapy and virtual teaching.
