Volumetric Visualisation

The following works explore how medical scan data can be transformed into clear and informative 3D visualisations. Using CT, MRI and PET datasets in 3D Slicer and MITK, the following were created: pre and post-operative pelvic fracture, internal tooth anatomy, a brain tumour and its surrounding structures, and lung carcinoma. Direct and indirect volume rendering, image registration, filtering, segmentation, surface modelling and colour coding were used to reveal anatomical structure, density, and spatial relationships between the structures.

Volumetric Visualisation

Segmented and registered the given CT and PET data and rendered them into 3D models to showcase the data for patients

What did I do:

  • Cleared, filtered, and segmented pre- and post-op CT of fractured hip bone and implantation
  • Direct and indirect rendering of the teeth showing its anatomy
  •  Registered CT, MRI, and PET data to align and render output showing brain tumour, its boundaries, metastasis, and anastomosis
  • Segmented lung CT data to show lung cancer on both lobes

Result: Four rendered outputs of four different anatomies and their datasets.

Volumetric Visualisation

The following images were all from the volumetric visualisation course during semester one. These were done using 3DSlicer and MITK.

On the left is an image of a fractured pelvis facing the front. On the right is an image of the fractured pelvis with metal implants after surgery.
Fractured Pelvis Before and After Surgery

A fractured pelvis is seen on the left before surgery. The pelvis on the right shows the metal that was added to the pelvic fracture after surgery.

There are two rows of images of a tooth. Each row has three images. Each image is a different view of the tooth.
Indirect and Direct Volume Renders of a Tooth

Shown are three different views of indirect and direct volume renders of a tooth.

There are two images of a pair of lungs with two tumors. The image on the left is a front view and the image on the right is a top-down view.
Lungs with Tumors Located

Shown are a pair of lungs with a tumor located in each.

There are two images of a skull with a brain with a tumor. The skull on the right has a cross section taken out.
