Abstract

This paper presents results in the image processing and visualization aspects of a virtual liver biopsy system (a system for simulating the medical procedure of liver biopsy). The creation of 3D models from 2D images of the organs involved is described, and segmentation requirements of this process are discussed. Endoscopic images of the liver that simulate the needle's point of view are created by means of combined volume and surface rendering. For this purpose ray casting is used with the ray start and end points being constrained within a surface rendered environment. Visualization of the needle insertion process from an exterior point of view is presented. A real-time sectional imaging component is also used in which the displayed 2D-image section of the 3D volume tracks the tip of the needle.
