| dc.description.abstract | Today there exist several medical imaging methods, including computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance(MR) imaging, and ultrasound scanning, that are capable of providing 3D information of various anatomical structures in the form of volume images. These methods have been successfully applied to various clinical areas with significant results. The visual evaluation of the image content necessitates the presentation of highly realistic images developed from the raw 3D data. Generating realistic computer images also requires accurate modeling of visible light. The radiosity method has proven to be a useful approach for computer graphics illumination calculations. In this research, the use of radiosity techniques for rendering biological environments has been studied by developing a surface renderer for this application. | en |
