Study of 3D visualization methods on PACS workstation / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

Based on a discussion on PACS and the way its image workstation obtains scanned sequential images, this paper presented a method of 3D surface construction and visualization on PACS workstation. Guest/Server structure was used between PACS application entities. Image storing and transmission were realized by service classes established by DICOM standards. Relation database was used to arrange the stored sequential images. Image workstation transformed the sequential images obtained from PACS net into volume data field. 3D reconstruction and rendering results were obtained by using surface-rendering and volume-rendering methods, which made the 3D construction results acquire vivid 3D structure details of high fidelity and strong sense of reality. 3 sets of application results were also presented in this paper.
