基于WebGL的医学图像三维可视化研究①

摘要

Medical images are usually big data and manipulated by large-scale hardware and complex software platform. With the development of Internet technology, people tends to use more and more online applications instead of heavy-weighted traditional softwares installed locally. Researches on online medical images processing has just started. In this article, a light-weighted solution of 3-D visualization of medical images is presented. Combining of HTML5 features and WebGL technique, web browser can be used as 3-D visulization framework for medical images data of specific formats (such as vtk, nrrd etc) , which are produced from the traditional imaging platforms (such as 3D-Slicer).%现今医学图像往往与大型的硬件设备和复杂的软件联系在一起，然而随着互联网技术的发展，越来越多互联网应用的出现改变了人们对传统本地软件的依赖，现今医学图像在互联网领域才刚刚起步，提出了一种在浏览器中实现医学图像的三维可视化的方法，能够通过成熟的本地医学图像平台(比如3DSlicer)获取医学图像数据，结合HTML5以及WebGL(Web Graphics Library)来实现医学图像的三维可视化。
