“…These tools include multiplane clipping, rotation, zoom, pan, Hounsfield unit (HU) density-based windowing, voxel volumetrics of user-defined anatomic regions, and customizable color maps, all of which are invoked by the user through an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. MedVolViz further enhances the visualization through the use of a patented perceptual colorization algorithm 4 that linearly correlates changes in perceived color luminance with changes in HU scalar density. 3.…”

Our objective was to investigate the application of three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic volume rendering with perceptual colorization on preoperative imaging for malignant pleural mesothelioma. At present, we have prospectively enrolled 6 patients being considered for resection of malignant pleural mesothelioma that have undergone a multidetector-row computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest. The CT data sets were volume rendered without preprocessing. The resultant 3D rendering was displayed stereoscopically and used to provide information regarding tumor extent, morphology, and anatomic involvement. To demonstrate this technique, this information was compared with the corresponding two-dimensional CT grayscale axial images from two of these patients. Three-dimensional stereoscopic reconstructions of the CT data sets provided detailed information regarding the local extent of tumor that could be used for preoperative surgical planning. Three-dimensional stereoscopic volume rendering for malignant pleural mesothelioma is a novel approach. Combined with our innovative perceptual colorization algorithm, stereoscopic volumetric analysis potentially allows for the accurate determination of the extent of pleural mesothelioma with results difficult to duplicate using grayscale, multiplanar CT images.

As computing and network capabilities continue to rise, it becomes increasingly important to understand the varied applications for using them to provide healthcare. The objective of this review is to identify key characteristics and attributes of healthcare applications involving the use of advanced computing and communication technologies, drawing upon 45 research and development projects in telemedicine and other aspects of healthcare funded by the National Library of Medicine over the past 12 years. Only projects publishing in the professional literature were included in the review. Four projects did not publish beyond their final reports. In addition, the authors drew on their first-hand experience as project officers, reviewers and monitors of the work. Major themes in the corpus of work were identified, characterizing key attributes of advanced computing and network applications in healthcare. Advanced computing and network applications are relevant to a range of healthcare settings and specialties, but they are most appropriate for solving a narrower range of problems in each. Healthcare projects undertaken primarily to explore potential have also demonstrated effectiveness and depend on the quality of network service as much as bandwidth. Many applications are enabling, making it possible to provide service or conduct research that previously was not possible or to achieve outcomes in addition to those for which projects were undertaken. Most notable are advances in imaging and visualization, collaboration and sense of presence, and mobility in communication and information-resource use.

“…Jonathan and Nigel [2] in their method generated an automatic color map for realistic volume visualization. Their approach says that most of the color maps used for volume rendering has value questionable and even data analysis information is also unclear so they proposed an automatic color map for realistic volume visualization.…”

A color mapping is a process by which we transfer the particular range of colors from source to the target image. This paper says about a novel method for medical images using pseudocolor by pre existence of color mapping. Conversion of grey scale image to color has no exact way or approach, direct way to colorize is tedious by which the entire range of colors can be changed, but in color mapping the conversion is done by converting the whole black and white image into color. This novel method presents black and white image to various colors. By the creation of color map that color map is applied for colorizing the medical grey scale images. This approach can be used for grey scale medical images irrespective of size and shape such that the intensity and aspect of the image can be improved
