Abstract

The system chose the Visualization Toolkit and Visual C++ as the development platform. The coronal section and the sagittal section were reconstructed through the cross-section of patients thoracic computed tomography (CT). Analyzing of these slices, the doctor can discover the position of tumors. And then the three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction of the chest and the tumors can be reconstructed by the volume rendering Ray-Casting method. The position of incision surgery can be located by the position of tumors, which would help the doctor analysis and view tumors and 3-D reconstruction of the chest from any angle through graphical visual interfaces in the computer. The surgical injury could be minimized.
