Development of Interactive and Collaborative 3D Medical Image Visualization and Analysis System

摘要

In this paper, we present an interactive and collaborative 3D virtual medical image visualization and analysis system to support collaborative medical diagnosis and treatments. Our system can be operated by several users (doctors) at different place. Each user can interactively access or visualize patient's 3D images using his/her own iPad and all users can share the information. It will be useful for remote discussions and diagnosis, remote collaborative works and remote medical educations. The intuitive computer graphic interface and virtual reality 3D environment make discussions and diagnosis more convenient and more efficient. The system has many special functions on operation such as show, zoom in, zoom out, slide, rotation, browse the slice, mark the slice and location. The system also has an interactive organ segmentation function.
