11.1.3 What is Interactive 3D Image Rendering ?
The 3D Image Rendering is a calculation process to visualize certain 3D structures of a scanned
volume by means of a 2D image. The gray value for each pixel of the 2D image is calculated from the
voxels along the corresponding projection path (analyzing beam) through the volume.
The render (calculation) algorithm surface or transparent mode decides which 3D structures are
visualized.
11.1.3.1 What is Interactive ?
Interactive means that every operation/adjustment concerning the result of the rendering process can
be followed in real time. The fast hardware and intelligent software enables calculation in real time
rendered pictures. After an operation step the result is rendered with a lower resolution in order to
speed up the interactive feedback, and when no operation takes place the result is rendered in high
resolution.
