摘要: Three-dimensional ultrasound can provide images that are easily understood by people who not specialists in ultrasonography. However, current visualization methods do perform very well on 3-D data. Apart from some specific cases (obstetrics, cardiology), have yet demonstrated major benefits a clinical point of view. In this article, we introduce an interactive method allows the user to produce for each examination. It is two-step method. First, roughly segments data drawing three boundary curves perpendicular planes. A ray-casting algorithm then automatically retrieves details objects. Because it be used routinely, tool should help evaluate potential
