“…With GPR data volumes sampled appropriately dense, novel approaches into 3D volume rendering may permit considerably improved, more realistic data visualizations. The advancements made in the field of medical imaging with the novel Cinematic Rendering technique (Dappa et al, ) are inspiring. The integration of 3D scanners and visual recording systems with GPR arrays for simultaneous localization and mapping will permit much improved site documentation, data analysis and presentation possibilities.…”

Traditionally, ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) measurements for near‐surface geophysical archaeological prospection are conducted with single‐channel systems using GPR antennae mounted in a cart similar to a pushchair, or towed like a sledge behind the operator. The spatial data sampling of such GPR devices for the non‐invasive detection and investigation of buried cultural heritage was, with very few exceptions, at best 25 cm in cross‐line direction of the measurement. With two or three persons participating in the fieldwork, coverage rates between a quarter hectare and half a hectare per day are common, while frequently considerably smaller survey areas at often coarse measurement spacing have been reported. Over the past years, the advent of novel multi‐channel GPR antenna array systems has permitted an enormous increase in survey efficiency and spatial sampling resolution. Using GPR antenna arrays with up to 16 channels operating in parallel, in combination with automatic positioning solutions based on real‐time kinematic global navigation satellite systems or robotic total‐stations, it has become possible to map several hectares per day with as little as 8 cm cross‐line and 4 cm in‐line GPR trace spacing. While this dramatic increase in coverage rate has a positive effect on the reduction of costs of GPR surveys, and thus its more widespread use in archaeology, the increased spatial sampling for the first time allows for the high‐resolution imaging of relatively small archaeological structures, such as for example 25 cm wide post‐holes of Iron Age buildings or the brick pillars of Roman floor heating systems, permitting much improved archaeological interpretations of the collected data. We present the state‐of‐the‐art in large‐scale high‐resolution archaeological GPR prospection, covering hardware and software technology and fieldwork methodology as well as the closely related issues of processing and interpretation of the huge data sets. Application examples from selected European archaeological sites illustrate the progress made.

“…Nevertheless, medical applications benefit from three‐dimensional data in cases where complex anatomy must be conveyed. There, 3D volume rendering [DCH88, Lev88] of CT or MRI data can offer important information that 2D images alone cannot convey for pre‐operative planning and post‐treatment follow‐up [DHF*16]. In such cases, a volume is often used for rendering instead of a polygonal surface model.…”

“…Back to less invasive imaging, a lot of the information contained in the anatomy tomographic data is ignored by classical VRT. More recently, cinematic rendering (CR) techniques [DHF*16] are using neglected information to provide photorealistic rendering to medical image data. Conventional volume rendering considers only emission and absorption of energy along a light ray to calculate 3D images, modelling scattering effects using a local gradient shading model.…”

The visual fidelity of realistic renderings in Computer Graphics depends fundamentally upon how we model the appearance of objects resulting from the interaction between light and matter reaching the eye. In this paper, we survey the research addressing appearance modelling of living human tissue. Among the many classes of natural materials already researched in Computer Graphics, living human tissues such as blood and skin have recently seen an increase in attention from graphics research. There is already an incipient but substantial body of literature on this topic, but we also lack a structured review as presented here. We introduce a classification for the approaches using the four types of human tissues as classifiers. We show a growing trend of solutions that use first principles from Physics and Biology as fundamental knowledge upon which the models are built. The organic quality of visual results provided by these Biophysical approaches is mainly determined by the optical properties of biophysical components interacting with light. Beyond just picture making, these models can be used in predictive simulations, with the potential for impact in many other areas.

We report a 56-year-old patient with acute wrist trauma. He presented with painful swelling in the area of the anatomical snuff box of the right hand. Plain radiograms revealed a scaphoid fracture ( Figure 1).However, the patient reported a history of repeat wrist trauma in the past years. Concerning the appearance of the fracture in the plain radiogram it was not definitely clear, whether this is a recent or an old fracture. Therefore, an MR examination was done to differentiate between old or recent fracture.The presence of significant bone marrow edema allowed the definite diagnosis of a recent scaphoid fracture (Figure 2 Cinematic and volume rendering of a scaphoid fracture Cinematic Rendering is a novel innovative post-processing technique to create photo-realistic three-dimensional images [1,2]. In comparison to conventional volume rendering techniques the 3D images appear more natural with Cinematic Rendering [1][2][3][4][5]. This new method is not primarily intended for radiologic diagnostic image reading. Possible applications in primary radiologic image diagnosis have to be evaluated in future studies. However, in a routine setting we use it already for demonstrating and teaching anatomy on the basis of CT and MR data sets (virtual anatomy) [6].
