| Abstract | Current 3D imaging systems have the capability to produce incredible amounts of highresolution volumetric data. In order for this data to be analyzed, it has to be converted into visual representations. Specialists in medicine and biology rely on these visualizations to better understand the structures and relationships present in their subjects of study. Even though three-dimensional data is available, the traditional practice of analyzing the information using 2D slices is still predominant. This, of course, requires the expertise to be able to reconstruct 3D structures mentally. Interactive visualization can bring to the forefront the information that might be obscured in the density of biomedical data sets, allowing the user to intuitively explore the data in real-time. More importantly, it has the potential of reducing the need for exploratory surgery and dissection by presenting clear, accurate 3D reconstructions of the objects of interest. The work presented in this thesis intends to take advantage of the wealth of information in biomedical data sets by visualizing a 3D representation of the subject of study while at the same time using the familiar approach of visualizing 2D slices to explore the data set. Moreover, the flexibility of having a 2D slice that cuts through the data set in any arbitrary direction should give more insight into its content. The need for accuracy as well as real-time response to the user’s actions poses a challenge, given that the amount of information to be handled has a negative effect on performance. As a way to deal with this issue, heavy computations are being executed in parallel to relieve part of the burden on the client side of the application developed. The |
