One projector generated the image volume in π× 70 mm × 70 mm × 150 mm space. Experimentally,the resolution of images was 800 pixel × 600 pixel × 360 pixel,which resulted in almost 345 million voxels. In order to achieve space voxels with uniform brightness, curved reflectors were also designed. In addition,the match conditions between triangles and the scanning planes in the volume space were classified and a sweptvolume graphics engine based on embedded platform was designed.The image rendering the hardware foundation for three-dimensional( 3D) dynamic images generation was achieved. Demonstrated in the experiments,light source utilization of the second-generation system based on curved mirror is about three times brighter than the firstgeneration 3D minitor based on flat mirror,and this system is able to display color,clear and well-proportioned 3D images in brighter room light.展开更多

Very good 3-D computer models of the human body are now available and used routinely in anatomy instruction. These techniques are subsumed under the heading “virtual anatomy” to distinguish them from the conventional study of anatomy entailing cadavers and anatomy textbooks. Moreover, other imaging procedures (X-ray, angiography, CT and MR) are also used in virtual anatomy instruction. A recently introduced three-dimensional post-processing technique named Cinematic Rendering now makes it possible to use the output of routine CT and MR examinations as the basis for highly photo-realistic 3-D depictions of human anatomy. We have installed Cinematic Rendering (enabled for stereoscopy) in a high-definition 8K 3-D projection space that accommodates an audience of 150. The space’s projection surface measures 16 × 9 meters;images can be projected on both the front wall and the floor. A game controller can be used to operate Cinematic Rendering software so that it can generate interactive real-time depictions of human anatomy on the basis of CT and MR data sets. This prototype installation was implemented without technical problems;in day-to-day, real-world use over a period of 22 months, there were no impairments of service due to software crashes or other technical problems. We are already employing this installation routinely for educational offerings open to the public, courses for students in the health professions, and (continuing) professional education units for medical interns, residents and specialists—in, so to speak, the dissecting theater of the future.展开更多
