Three-dimensional CT imaging with volume rending of separating, fusing, opacifying and false-coloring technique

摘要

This paper proposes a three-dimensional CT imaging (3DCT) method to show the anatomical structures. With the CT volume scanning data, 3DCT imaging with volume rendering of separating, fusing, opacifying and false-coloring (SFOF-VR) techniques was done on the workstation. SFOF-VR, with separately and jointly showing the complicated anatomy and their spatial relations, is valuable in finding the variations of bone, artery and vein, and diagnosing their diseases. When comparing with routine volume rendering (R-VR), SFOF-VR provides more clear and direct anatomical basis for imaging diagnosis and surgical operation.
