Method for generating medical image from volume data in volume rendering system by volume rendering, involves updating image by replacing image pixel by pixel computed with high resolution by renewed pixel computation

摘要

The method involves determining a target resolution, and carrying out computation of a pixel of an image by ray-casting. Pixels that are not computed with the target resolution, are marked. Volume data in a volume rendering system (100) are provided for the computation of the marked pixels with high resolution. A renewed computation of the pixel of the image for the marked pixels with a high resolution. The image is updated by replacing the image pixel by the pixel computed with the high resolution by the renewed pixel computation. An actual image is displayed by a display. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for generating an image (2) a computer program comprising instructions for generating an image.
